The need for an air compressor limits down the portability of the plasma cutting machines. Unlike welding machines, plasma cutters are designed to work with compressed air only. fortunately an air compressor attaches to the back of a plasma cutter in the same way a gas tank connects to the back of a welding machine using an air regulator. an air compressor needs to be purchased separately from your local hardware store though. ![]() Plasma cutting, is a melting process that uses plasma and an outside power source to create an electric arc between the electrode and the metal being cut to melt and eject it from the cut. Plasma, as known to be the fourth state of matter, is a super-heated gas flow that is formed when compressed air or gas (like nitrogen or argon) make contact with the electrode (which is at the tip of the cutting torch) and ionise to create plasma.
