MY ACCOUNT ONLINE CHAT CLEARANCE Alloys Forms Processing Quality Approvals Technical Resources Hi-Def Plasma Cutting How does a High-Def Plasma Cutter Work? Our Hi-Def Plasma cuts steel with an electrical arc that passes from an electrode to the work piece. Plasmas use compressed gas to shield the electrical arc and give a downward direction for the plasma and slag being created. Why choose the Plasma for cutting your alloy? Plasma machines run fast and can cut thick plate, meaning they offer the lowest lead time of all CNC cutting machines. We offer plate beveling at all locations that plasma cut. Capabilities Standard plasma cutting tolerances that apply to both the top and bottom surfaces are as follows: Up to 1-3/4" thick: +1/8", -0 >1-3/4" to 3" thick: +1/4", -0 >3" to 4" thick: +3/8", -0 >4" to 5" thick: +3/4", -0 >5" to 6" thick: +1", -0 (Tolerance reversed on all I.D. cuts) Diagonal tolerance is 3/16" maximum on plasma cut items If you require tighter tolerances, please contact us.
