About this product
The Hobart Airforce 12 Amp Plasma Cutter is a robust plasma cutting system with a built-in air compressor, designed for precise metal cutting. It operates at 120V input with a 20 amp draw and is rated to cut 1/8 inch material. Manufactured in the United States, this unit is a comprehensive tool for fabrication and repair, eliminating the need for an external air source. Its integrated design enhances portability and simplifies setup for various metalworking tasks.
Our take
This Hobart Airforce plasma cutter truly stands out with its integrated compressor, which is a fantastic feature for portability and convenience. Operating at 120V and requiring a 20 amp input, it's accessible for many workshops and even some home garages, though you'll need a dedicated circuit. The 1/8 inch rated plasma cutting capability is solid for general fabrication, auto body work, or hobbyist metal art. While it's great not to lug around a separate air compressor, I'd manage expectations for its continuous duty cycle on thicker materials, as compact built-in compressors can have limitations. Overall, a powerful and highly convenient tool for its intended purpose.
