Can a pilot arc torch be used with this plasma cutter?

Does not have the circuitry for a high voltage low current pilot arc. It's strictly "touch and cut" though the arc can be maintained for a short distance from the work once started. I found the unit to be quite good for what I use it for, mostly sheet metal (less than 1/8") which it cuts quite cleanly. Have also used it to cut 1/2" round bar and 1/4" sheet steel, though that's slow and tends to leave a ragged cut.

This machine has a 110 plug and no manuel switch that goes from 110 to 240. 240 would probably fry the wiring in this small appliance, sorry. I have welded and plasma cut with 240 before. We run on AC current here in the US, not DC. Why don't you try to contact the manufacturer directly and ask if the have another appliance better suited to your market. Sorry, I do not have anymore ideas. Martha

Per my husband who I purchased the welder for, all welders can accept a water cooled torch as long as you have or make the proper adaptor to attach your torch to the welder. He cannot remember off hand right now but he thinks it is a standard Miller attachment.

Yes, it comes with the Tig torch works, and Plasma. It works very well in my opinion.

I use mine for creme brle with no problems. However, I use a very small chef's torch.

Everything is included to use the plasma cutter. It also comes with a few extra consumables. You can get more online or at your local welding supply store. I would recommend purchasing an air dryer that is placed inline as it enters the machine (desiccant) that is not included with the Plasma cutter.

Not without going into the shop in measuring. But its very long 10 - 15 ft and the ground clamp lead is shorter but the ground clamp is actually pretty decent. The only problem I have is the digital display is not accurate but it has a numbered scale to go by. For the price its a pretty good plasma cutter.

Yes, but you'll need carbide tipped blades. A power hand saw and diamond blade would be a better choice.

I suppose you could, jeopardizing the hone of your knife. The spine of the blade would likely not be sharp enough, so the hone would be needed to emit spark. I would use the striker for striking and the knife for cutting. But that's me.

Sorry, I've never tried that. I would think it would be something that could be done, if you had some kind of glass cutting blade on your tool.

Beth,The carbide and or diamond particle bits should be able to. Try them out on a piece of scrap material first. Be sure your material is held down so it won't move. Try a gentle touch first.You may want to "GOOGLE" DREMEL bits for cutting stone and hard wood...there maybe more robust bits for that purpose.What do you make?I hope this helps.Tom Lewis 602 214 4617

I now run my plasma torch on a 240 volt 30 amp circuit, but before I put this in, I ran it on a 120 volt 20 amp circuit. I had trouble at first with popping the breaker of the 120 volt circuit, but it was 30years old, so after I replaced the breaker and I had no more problems when run the plasma torch.

wouldn't recommend these for mig, tig as they are only a #5 shade...........should use minimum #10 I believe for that type of welding............I haven't used them yet.........bought them to use with my plasmas cutter...........hope this helps...............

You will need regulators to use this torch. There is a kit available for small tanks. This is more expensive to use but practical for limited use. I The Little Torch with Regulators for Disposible TanksIf you decide to go to larger tanks you will need different regulators. I suggest going to a welding supply company as there are different configurations depending on what kind of gas you want to use. BTW I used these torches for 30 years before retiring. Best one available for fine work.

I use it on my plasma cutter and it works fine. But I also have a larger moisture seperator/regulator on my compressor itself which is my suggestion. This is more for taking out any condensation which may happen in your hose itself. You may also consider a larger air compressor.

No, this machine comes with an electrode holder and a ground clamp. I believe the TIG torch is a separate accessory.

It can indeed however the sparks are less hot and don't last as long due to its being stainless steel the high Crome and vanadium in the blade make it rust resistant but also lessen its ferris property's so it will spark but ideally I would use a high carbon blade hope this helps! Btw this is a great knife!
