Overview
The Hobart AirForce™ 500i plasma cutter is an economical plasma cutter system for all conductive metals. Inverter-based design and reliable technology pack a lot of performance into a very portable package. The AirForce 500i features a multi-voltage plug (MVP) that allows user to connect to common 120V or 230V power receptacles. Plasma cutters cut faster and more precise with a thinner kerf and less slag than cutting with oxy fuel. A smaller heat-affected zone also causes less warping. And you'll never have gas pressure settings, flame tuning, metal preheating, or gas cylinders or refills to worry about. U.S.A.
