Have someone here used a scuba tank as a portable air source to feed a plasma cutter?
My question born because I'm thinking to buy a plasma cutter ,and according with the Deca website (Italian brand) they produce a plasma cutter that can cut 12mm steel and can be used with a power generator not stabilized ,230V ±30%
It costs about 500 euros and it use trafimet torch and it has pilot arc
Now because at home I have only 3kW and the shop built is going to take little bit longer time than I thought , and the air compressor I have take 1500W of power(it has no tank because it didn't survive the hydro-test if you remember one of my last threads)
I was thinking that maybe if there are air cilinders (200 bar) and a regulator that drops the pressure a about 5 bar ...
It can be a good set up for what I want to do at home and also for occasionally outside use with my genset (for example next week I have to repair a property gate in the middle of nowhere , obviously no power supply available there)
Are here somebody that did or do that?
Thank you for an eventually answer to this hard question
