UK — Plasma cutting is a flexible and cost-effective method of processing parts. The process can be used to cut aluminium, mild steel, stainless steel and wear-resistant materials from 1 to 60 mm. Whilst the plasma unit is central to the cutting process, it's the sum of the complementary parts that control, hold and move the plasma cutting torch that will ultimately define cut quality.
