Hypertherm introduces plasma versus oxfuel website

Hypertherm, Hanover, NH, the world leader in plasma arc metal cutting technology, has announced a new web site designed to help people understand the differences between plasma and oxyfuel cutting so they can decide which cutting method is right for them.

The site found at www.plasmavsoxyfuel.com contains a series of educational articles that cover the seven key things people need to consider when choosing a cutting method: cut quality, productivity, cost per part, overall profitability, ease of use, flexibility, and safety.

There are also several videos on the site, one of which contains a side by side comparison of the two technologies. People wanting more information can also click the many links to external resources that provide even more information on plasma and oxyfuel.

''There is sometimes confusion as to which cutting method to use. The answer is it depends on a variety of factors,'' said Paula Flanders, one of the site's content managers. ''Plasmavoxyfuel.com aims to help people better understand the factors they should consider and works to dispel common myths that exist among the Plasma and Oxyfuel cutting technologies so that people can make an informed decision.''
