Hand-held cutting or CNC

Most MetalWise units are set up for CNC tables. The 45A model ships with both a hand-held torch and a machine torch.

Hand-held cutting or CNC

Hand-held cutting and gouging

P-METALWISE/35 comes with a hand-held torch, a mechanised torch and a starter set of nozzles, shields and electrodes. The hand-held torch has a general push-button design, and its consumables are common at welding suppliers.

Mechanised torches for CNC

The other MetalWise units come with a mechanised torch for CNC plasma tables. The built-in arc voltage signal lets the table control the torch height for the best cut quality. The tables themselves are on cncplasmatable.co.za.

Hypertherm systems

The Powermax 45A to 125A and the MAXPRO200 are listed with mechanised torches for automated cutting. The P-METALWISE/P65 uses Powermax 65 compatible consumables, which keeps parts easy to find.
