Powermax30 XP plasma cutter

The Powermax30^® XP is a highly portable plasma cutter designed to handle a wide range of jobs. A unique “two-in-one” design provides high-power capability for thick metal cutting, as well as FineCut^® consumables for detailed, thin metal cutting. In addition to cutting any electrically conductive metal, such as mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, this 30-amp plasma cutter can also gouge metal. The Powermax30 XP boasts dual-voltage capabilities. In addition to 240 V, you can plug it into a standard household socket and use as a 120 V plasma cutter.
