Built for shops that want real cutting power on the table without outgrowing their machine. This package pairs the Everlast PowerPlasma 82i, an 80-amp IGBT inverter plasma cutter, with a dedicated PTM-80 CNC machine torch, and every plasma cutter from Garage Fab HQ comes with our GFHQ CNC Com Cable so you can connect it to your table controller right away.
The 82i handles 5/8" plate every day and makes quality cuts through 1" at slower speeds. It still runs on standard 240V shop power, so it fits right in a home garage as well as a production fab shop. The Italian-designed PTM-80 torch uses a back-striking blowback start for longer consumable life, and it works with both shielded and unshielded consumables. The high-frequency-free start won't interfere with your table's electronics.
