Clean cuts start with the right amperage, the right air, and consumables that actually fit your work.

Plasma cutting is rated by recommended cut capacity, severance capacity, and duty cycle — three numbers that should match how you actually use the machine. For body shop and HVAC work, 25–30 amps will cleanly cut up to 3/8 inch. For structural steel, half-inch plate, and gusset work, look at 45–65 amp systems. Once you're cutting 3/4 inch and thicker plate routinely, jump straight to 85 amps with mechanized capability.
Hypertherm's Powermax SYNC line moved the consumable game forward with single-piece cartridges that auto-set amperage and air pressure — fewer parts to lose, less guessing, longer life on the cartridge thanks to RFID-tracked usage data. If you're still buying five-piece consumable kits and trying to remember which tip pairs with which shield, the SYNC platform pays for itself in saved labor inside the first year.
Oxy-fuel still has a place — pipefitters, riggers, and mobile welders all keep a Victor outfit on the truck because it cuts without electricity and handles thick steel in remote conditions. Our most-asked-for kits are the Medalist 250 for heavy cutting and the CutSkill medium-duty for everyday repair work. Both ship with tips, regulators, hoses, and the carrying gear you need to put them right to work.
