The Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 40 weighs 22 lbs., has the flexibility to use 115V to 230V primary power and delivers a rated output of 40 amps at 40% duty cycle.
Thermal Dynamics, an ESAB brand, has introduced its Cutmaster 40 manual plasma cutting system, successor of the Cutmaster 42. It weighs 22 lbs., has the flexibility to use 115V to 230V primary power and delivers a rated output of 40 amps at 40% duty cycle.
On 230V primary, it delivers a recommended cut and pierce capacity on 1/2" steel and can sever steel up to 1". On 115V primary, it delivers a recommended cut and pierce on 3/8" steel. To use 115V, simply connect the supplied 115V adapter to the hardwired 230V plug. The unit is designed for motor sports, mobile fabrication, light construction, HVAC, metal/building/roofing, mechanical contracting, maintenance/repair, farm/ranch, metal art and DIY applications.
"Head-to-head evaluations against leading competitors confirmed that the Cutmaster 40 delivers superior cutting performance on both 115V and 208/230V primary power," said Kris Scherm, Global Manual Plasma Business & Product Director, ESAB. "You do not always need that extra punch of power or duty cycle, but it is there when users need it to work harder or take on bigger jobs."
The Cutmaster 40 features a rugged, weather-proof, three-handle case that better protects the unit, especially during transportation in a job box or back of a work truck. The handles make it easier to move the unit in tight quarters and helps organize the cables when moving the unit.
"The Cutmaster 40 comes with the SL60 1Torch with 20-ft. torch lead, which is up to 8 ft. longer than competitive torches," said a company spokesperson. Further, because it uses Thermal Dynamic's ATC torch connection (standard on all Cutmaster units), users can connect an additional 25-ft. length of torch lead. The work cable uses a standard 50 mm Dinse connection, while the robust work clamp creates a strong electrical connection.
"We designed the torch and work cables to disconnect in seconds, which improves cable management when moving the unit," said Scherm. "Also, because these items can get damaged, the quick disconnect design makes them easily replaceable."
The SL60 1Torch comes with the Cutmaster Black Series electrodes, which extend operating life by up to 60%. As a result, they lower cutting cost and downtime, as well as maintain cut performance over a longer time period.
