Plasma cutting systems offer state-of-the-art cutting technology and typically are available with useful support systems from plasma cutting machine manufacturers.

Plasma cutting machines are available as both handheld machines and plasma cutting tables. Both plasma cutting tables and handheld plasma metal cutters can utilize computerized software for cutting, and replace other types of cutting technology.

When you start looking for plasma metal cutters, do the following:
  1. Download catalogs and brochures for product specifications and ordering information.
  2. Get additional product information and updated sale prices online.
  3. Check out used plasma cutters and refurbished machines for discount prices.
  4. Get support for your product such as video demonstrations, parts and software.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Download brochures and catalogs for plasma cutting machines


Manufacturers of plasma cutting tables and other plasma metal cutters typically offer complete product information for download from their websites, and you can order from the manufacturer using the catalog or brochure.

I recommend: Check out both downloadable catalogs and downloadable brochures to get complete product information and order from companies such as SteelTailor and Torchmate that don't offer online ordering.

Look online for plasma cutting systems on sale or available for online ordering


Some manufacturers offer online ordering, and also will update sale prices for plasma metal cutters online for the benefit of online shoppers.

I recommend: Get product specifications online for a variety of plasma metal cutters, as well as up-to-date sale prices, at Automotive Service Equipment, or get specifications and order online from multiple brands at one web location.

Shop for refurbished and used plasma cutters to save a buck


Used plasma cutting machines, like many kinds of industrial equipment, are not difficult to come by and can be an economical option for buyers on a budget.

I recommend: If you're looking for an expensive plasma cutting table at a discount price, look for a used plasma cutter for sale. Used machines and refurbished machines are both good ways to cut costs and put a plasma cutting table in your price range.

Get parts and easy downloadable support for plasma cutting systems


Many plasma cutter manufacturers offer excellent customer support with videos and software in addition to replacement parts for their plasma cutting machines.

I recommend: Replacement parts for plasma cutting systems are easy to find, and you can even shop for parts for different brands all in one online location.  Don't overlook other handy pieces of support, however, like downloadable demonstration videos and software for your computerized plasma cutting table.
