Good evening, everyone!!
Heres a recent two-part video that I made... It discusses the main differences between oxy-fuel (mainly oxy-acetylene) and plasma cutting...
These videos compare the two processes on their:
-Initial setup cost
-Cost to operate & maintain
-Cutting speeds
-Ability to cut various materials (steel, aluminum, etc)
-Uses outside of cutting (gouging, heating, etc)
-Amount of training required
-Safety factors
-Additional equipment required to operate.
I wanted to put together something for the newer welder, someone with no thermal cutting setup whose considering buying one, to help them decide if a torch set or a nice plasma cutter is best for their individual situation...
