Powermax30 AIR Plasma System

Easy to set up with an Internal Compressor

Despite its small size, the Powermax30® AIR delivers big performance. The smallest, lightest handheld plasma cutting system in its class, it includes its own built-in air compressor, so you can use the Powermax30 AIR anywhere there’s single-phase power. Just plug it in, attach the work clamp and you’re ready to cut.

Easy to set up and operate:
– Internal compressor eliminates the need for an external air compressor and filter
– Plug into any 120 or 240 V power (convenient Auto-Voltage™ technology and plug adapters included)

Superior performance in a compact package:
– Patent-pending consumable design enables consistent cutting by optimizing the airflow from the compact, internal compressor
– Quickly cut metal grate or rusted metal without retriggering with the continuous pilot arc feature
– Fast cutting speeds and superior cut quality let you finish jobs quicker, with fewer secondary operations

Exceptional versatility:
– Just one tool is all you need to cut a variety of metal types and thicknesses
– Small size and light weight let you take the Powermax30 AIR to the work, rather than bringing the work to the system – an ideal solution for a wide range of cutting applications
– Built to withstand heavy-duty use in the most demanding environments
