Why would you buy this over a standard definition plasma?

You need the cut quality, edge finish, accuracy, hole tolerance and speed a standard definition system just cannot deliver. The Precision 130 has up to 70% lower running costs than an equivalent amperage, standard definition, air cooled system, whilst it can cut up to 20% faster.

Why would you buy this over a competitor HD system?

Simply, it offers unrivalled value for money. A fully featured High-Definition plasma power source with the addition of Water Mist Secondary cutting (WMS) for amazing cut quality on Stainless Steel and Aluminium too. On top of this, leading brand, 3-year warranty, supported platform 15+ years and supported globally.

Why would you buy this over a laser?

Flexibility. It doesn’t matter if you’re cutting thick or thin material, with HD plasma you get the same great cut quality, cutting speeds, and low running costs, every time. In addition, lasers are more expensive to buy, have greater servicing costs, require more frequent maintenance, and require specialist installation and setup to get them working correctly. The Precision 130 can cut 30% faster than a 6kw laser on 15mm mild steel, and lasers struggle to deliver a consistently smooth cut surface on thicker materials. Lasers cost more to run when cutting stainless steel due to high usage of Nitrogen gas and can use up to double the amount of electricity when cutting plate thicknesses greater than 12mm.
