Is this a pilot arc plasma cutter?

"touch arc" Cheap! and lower torch life!! expect crappy availability of consumables and ONLY online. Think about that!

Actually I'm not certain if the cutter is carbide. But in all actuality I personally don't think that it matters much because you're only trimming thin brass which offers absolutely no resistance when being trimmed

Not sure on the type but mine has a sticker on it saying it "Accepts DEwault Miter saw XPS cross cut positioning LED work light system (DWS7085)". I am guessing that'd accomplish the same thing? In my opinion the laser is a gimmick, you can bring the blade down prior to your cut and see EXACTLY the spot the blade will hit.

Yes ...This is one of the few inexpensive plasma cutters that work well with a cnc interface. Mine came with a 9 pin connector for cnc interface.

amazon asked me to answer this for some reason. are you cutting clean or dirty metal? have you made sure the cut head is assembled correctly? do you have a good ground? mine wont cut unless it has a clean spot to start on. and also clean air is crucial for it to cut good. how old is the plasma? ive cut about 150ft of 1/4 plate flawlessly with only changing the consumables a few times. not sure how plasma savvy you are this isnt a post to offend you just trying to help. hope this helps. also a bad ground on the power side could be causing a issue. are you gettn air flow when you push/pull the trigger? amazon asked me to answer this for some reason. are you cutting clean or dirty metal? have you made sure the cut head is assembled correctly? do you have a good ground? mine wont cut unless it has a clean spot to start on. and also clean air is crucial for it to cut good. how old is the plasma? ive cut about 150ft of 1/4 plate flawlessly with only changing the consumables a few times. not sure how plasma savvy you are this isnt a post to offend you just trying to help. hope this helps. also a bad ground on the power side could be causing a issue. are you gettn air flow when you push/pull... » Read More amazon asked me to answer this for some reason. are you cutting clean or dirty metal? have you made sure the cut head is assembled correctly? do you have a good ground? mine wont cut unless it has a clean spot to start on. and also clean air is crucial for it to cut good. how old is the plasma? ive cut about 150ft of 1/4 plate flawlessly with only changing the consumables a few times. not sure how plasma savvy you are this isnt a post to offend you just trying to help. hope this helps. also a bad ground on the power side could be causing a issue. are you gettn air flow when you push/pull the trigger? « Show Less

The one I purchased CAME WITH A WATER COOLED TORCH. When I use the water cooled torch I must have a water flow through it. You could just use an air cooled torch. As soon as I go the unit I tried out everything. I cut 3/4" plate with the plasma, welded Full power DC TIG, and then tried it out on 0.030 6061 aluminum. It worked great...so far I've had no trouble with it.

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

I believe it would be, but I'm not a welding expert. I've used it with my Mig welder and it worked really well. It transitioned to dark so fast I could not detect the arc flash.

No, this tool uses the Dewalt 20vdc battery packs. The chargers for the batteries plug into standard 110vac receptacles.

I haven't tried cutting arcs so I can't give a qualified answer.l would be interested to find out if you can. I think it would depend on how severe the radius would be.

If your air pressure drops below 80 pounds, you don't get a clean cut. Either you get a higher cfm compressor or you expect wait time. Yes, you can cut expanded metal but you have to re-establish your arc after each air space - not much of a problem, however be sure to hook up your ground to the "positive" terminal when using the plasma cutter.

NO, it should only arc when you make contact with the work. Like an arc welder.

It has a cutter but doesn't work good. Use something else to strip your wires.

This welder/plasma cutter is made in Germany. I will weld some stainless with it tomorrow, but I'll goose step only if I burn myself.

Yes-it must be in contact to work as intended.The arc represents the discharge as it goes off. You can see and hear it even if it is not in contact. That may scare someone off-but I'd wait and just let em have the full effect without warning.

Plasma cutter does not come with a plug of any kind just a cord so you can purchase a plug that matches your welder
