Plasma or Oxyfuel: Which method is right for you?

With cleaner cuts, faster cut times and significantly reduced operating costs, the benefits of Hypertherm plasma over oxyfuel are easy to see and easy to feel in your pocketbook. Hypertherm plasma systems don't require pre-heating, cut faster and produce a better-quality cut, all while operating at costs up to 5 1/2 times lower than oxyfuel. Plus, plasma has the power to cut, pierce and bevel electrically conductive metals that are more than 1.75'' thick, while still having the versatility to make thinner cuts that oxyfuel just can't handle.
