In this post, we are looking at everything you need to know before buy cnc plasma table. Hope it is helpful for you. Based on our experience, when we chatting with the customer who intend to buy cnc plasma cutter, the most frequently asked question is that what plasma source power should I have for my job? The maximum cutting thickness of plasma cutter varies according to different power of plasma source. To answer this question, you need to know the maximum thickness of your metal will be cut. CNC plasma cutter is special machinery used for cutting sheet metal, square tube metal or cylinder pipe. If you tell us the maximum thickness of the metal you want to cut, we can suggest the proper plasma source power for you. There are two plasma source brands which are used on plasma cnc tables. One is Huayuan from China, the other is Hypertherm from USA. Below is the quality cutting capacity of both brands for your reference.

Huayuan Plasma Power (CHINA)		Hypertherm Plasma Power (USA)
Power	Quality Cut (mm)	Power	Quality Cut (mm)
63A	8	45A	8
100A	15	65A	10
120A	20	85A	12
160A	30	105A	18
200A	40	125A	25
		200A	30

The above values are summarized from our practical experience. The quality cut refers to the machinery cutting, not handheld cutting.

After this point clear, next thing to check is the working size. The working size of the cnc plasma cutting table shall be determined according to the metal sheet or tube metal size of the user. Machine working size should be big enough to cut your materials.

The third ting is the torch height controller (THC). With torch height controller, the plasma cnc table can cut metal sheet which is uneven, the plasma cutter torch head will automatically rise and fall as the sheet metal surface goes up and down; without T.H.C controller, the machine can only cut flat sheet. So, please take or not take as per your material status.
