Tecarc do a plasma cutter that can heat as well. Look up Oxford cutmaker

I dont think you can replace a gas axe with anything, its just too versatile. My life would be a lot harder without one, that said I would not be without the plasma either

In capable hands arc air gouging can be more precise than people think. I’ve seen guys remove fully welded plates from things and what’s left needs nothing more than a light touch with a grinder. I’ve also seen it done without leaving a mark on the metal needed retaining. Horrible Process I agree but it can be very accurate with the right driver.not a precision method of cutting

No the cord that is plugged to the 110-230v. It looks thin and not much protective, for such a machine.Are you looking at the earth return lead?
Ahmem brother
I use my Oxy/Accet very rarely but I am happy to have it sitting around. If you are doing the odd job then even small bottles last for ages. I often use MAPP for stuff(mostly lighting the wood burner ) but if you need to give something the beans quickly there really is no substitute for Accetylene
And it was a pleasure to work with some of them. Flame straightening or precise heat only bends. The cutting was just beautiful! but and here is the big rub, that's about all they actually did. Useless to most firms on the majority of what came in. Shipyards etc? Different matter (we had two burners when I did my time but we used to also do flame cutting profiles etc before computerisation and lazer, plasma, water jet etc.When I was an apprentice, "burner" was a specific job, they did nothing else, from straight lovely cuts in steel to blowing out sheared off bolts in blind holes without even touching the threads on the tapped hole, These days everybody has to do a bit of everything and very few can master the skills of a dedicated specific tradesman,
Can i say something?
I think that it's possibible try to see if plasma cutter can alto heat metal...
Is it possibile if we close or simpler we use only the air that needs to transfer the plasma arc from the tip to the workpiece?
And if we use an long arc to take away the pressured air?
I can't try because i have not a plasma cutter, but i think that it's possibible try this without damage anything.
Somebody can try this?
Thank you it's also a curiosity
