the LP-80 totaly blew me away! I cut a piece of 5/16 angle Gal. and Well ! had to play
this is 1 inch Aluminum, Specs says it will severance cut 3/4 Aluminum, but it eat up the
1 inch with no problem With some Amps to Spare. I can't wait to get some play time to fine tune it!
The cut is ruff but just threwing some settings to it and going at was very impressive
THIS LP-80 IS TOTALLY AWESOME, AWESOME AWESOME

That's very impressive Tom, you must be getting the hang of the unit.

Gadget, no this was just the second cut, I ever did with it!
I was just playing around and wanted to know what it would do
I was very impessed with it myself
but getting used to it no, BUT CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY

Looks good, maybe a little to fast of a cutting speed.

Great cuts Tom! The 80amp plasma cutter is one of our most powerful plasma cutters that we carry! It is a great bargain for its capabilities.
Another machine that will cut 1 inch thick aluminum is the the Weldall 200PI! The 200PI multipurpose machine comes with a 50amp plasma cutter, but with the AC capability, you can cut aluminum like cutting steel with a DC plasma cutter! Much cleaner and much thicker than that of a DC plasma cutter.

Thanks again for sharing the pics Tom. We appreciate it.

That is a fine looking cut there! Made my first cuts with my WeldALL 250PI 13 Ga. steel plate abought 130 Inches long used a steel angle clamped down to make the straight cut WOW!!! Worked GREAT!

Very nice cut, I wonder what the 60I would do on 1inch aluminum?

I have never used a plasma cutter,especially on aluminum.For some reason I thought it would be a smoother cut.It is still amazing that it would cut something that thick.

I am amazed at this cut I don't think I could do this by hand as the torch must be kept very steady. Using a torch, you can cut ferrous metal easily as it oxidizes and burns easily. Aluminum is another animal.
