Cutmaster 40 plasma cutter pledges mobility and power

ESAB shows that cutting edge

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has premiered its Cutmaster 40 manual plasma cutting system, which weighs 10 kg, delivers a rated output of 40 amps at 40 percent duty-cycle, has the flexibility to use 110V – 240V power with automatic input voltage selection.

On 230V input, it delivers a recommended cut and pierce capacity on 12 mm steel and can sever steel up to 25 mm, says the company. On 120V primary, it delivers a recommended cut and pierce on 9 mm steel. The unit is designed for autobody repair and restoration, mobile fabrication, light construction, plumbing and HVAC, metal/building/roofing, maintenance/repair, agricultural and ornamental work.

“Head-to-head evaluations against leading competitors confirmed that the Cutmaster 40 delivers superior cutting performance and unprecedented power and mobility,” says Kris Scherm, global manual plasma business & product director, ESAB. “You may not always need that extra power or 40% duty cycle, but it is there when you need it to take on bigger jobs.” 

The case wrapped up!

The Cutmaster 40 features a rugged, weather-proof, three-handle case that better protects the unit, especially during transportation in the back of a work truck. The handles make it easier to move the unit in tight quarters, as well as help organise the cables. 

The Cutmaster 40 comes with the proven SL60 1Torch with 6.1 m torch lead, which is more than 2 m longer than competitive torches, adds ESAB. Further, because it uses ATC torch connection (standard on all Cutmaster units), users can connect an additional 7.6 m of torch lead. The work cable uses a standard 50 mm dinse connection, while the robust work clamp creates a strong electrical connection.

“We designed the torch and work cables to disconnect in seconds, which improves cable management when moving the unit,” adds Scherm. “Also, because these items can get damaged, the quick disconnect design makes them easily replaceable.” 

The SL60 1Torch comes with the Cutmaster Black Series electrodes, which extend operating life by up to 60%. As a result, they lower cutting cost and downtime, as well as maintain cut performance over a longer time period.

ESAB backs the Cutmaster 40 with a 4-year warranty on the power supply and a 1-year warranty on the 1Torch.
