CNC Plasma Cutter
The CNC Plasma Cutter uses an arc of electricity to ionize a high pressure stream of gas to pierce through metals. The CNC gantry then rapidly and accurately moves to cut out the learner's design. The plasma cutter can work with many metals, but is primarily used for cutting steel.
