Have been lurking around here way to long..
So i have this gantry table setup, and have been pondering.. Power source for the plasma.. Sure i could go out buy a brand new plasma cutter.. But why? When i have this ESAB Tigma150 TIG welder lying around.
It has ESAB standard connectors and a trigger port for the TIG welder handle and some gas througput also..
Shouldnt this machine be able to run a cutting torch head? I have been poking around Ebay not sure what to get..
Any suggestions? And yes i'm aware an external compressor will be necessary.
But think about this, this welder can put out 80Amps of continous power, and up 100 Amps at a 80%, 130Amps at 60% and 150amps at .. prob 20% to be real.
