AirForce
™
250ci
Portable Air Plasma Cutter
N
eed to cut steel? Thinking about an oxy acetylene
cutting torch to do the job? Consider a plasma
cutter. This simple technology uses an electrical arc
and compressed air to cut steel, aluminum, and
other conductive metals.
Designed to cut up to 1/4 inch mild steel, the AirForce
™
250ci is powered by standard household voltage
(115 VAC). A built-in air compressor and lightweight
inverter power supply make this plasma cutter the most
convenient, totally portable cutting system available.
The AirForce
™
250ci excels at cutting sheet metal and
1/8 inch mild steel, and can even sever 1/4 inch steel.
Compared to the complexities of an oxy fuel cutting
torch system, plasma cutting is easy:
Cuts faster than oxy fuel
More precise cut, thinner kerf, less slag to clean up
Smaller heat-affected zone for less warping
No gas pressure settings or flame tuning needed
No preheating of metal prior to cutting
No pressurized gas cylinders to transport
No worries about running out of gas on the job
No expense for gas refills... ever
The AirForce
™
250ci comes ready to cut out of the
box, with extra replacement tips and a convenient
cable management strap for easy transportation.
Just pull the trigger and cut.

HP-25 16.4 ft (5 m) hand-held torch
Heavy-duty work clamp with 16.4 ft (5 m) cable
