Best Hobart Plasma Cutting Equipment in 2026

Good duty cycle ratings for TIG, Stick, and Plasma

Low dross cuts on steel up to 5/8" with up to 3/4" maximum capacity (under ideal conditions)

Easy to use controls with simple selector switch for process changeover

Quick change out of torches for easy change from TIG to plasma back to TIG

Duty Cycle indicator warns when thermal threshold has been exceeded and interrupts welding/cutting output until condition is resolved

Over Current indicator warns when duty cycle has been exceeded and interrupts welding/cutting output until condition is resolved

OK to cut indicator lights up when air pressure meets minimum required operating pressure and interrupts cutting output when air pressure is too low

Light Commercial class, 35% Duty cycle at 60 amps

Clean, smooth cuts with the genuine iPT 60 Torch

Blowback start starts are fast and reliable

Pilot arc improves performance and cutting on dirty, painted, or rusted metals

Auto pilot arc restart and Auto post flow

Front mounted pressure gauge

Suitable for use with 10,000 W "clean power" (5% or less THD) generators

IDEAL FOR REGULARLY CUTTING_A_MAXIMUM 1"

MAXIMUM CUT FOR QUALITY @ 10-12 IPM (STEEL) 1 1/4"

Easy starting with Blow Back Pilot arc allows easy cutting of rusty and painted metals

Adjustable post flow control up to 50 seconds to improve consumable and torch life

Over Current and Duty Cycle protection indicates fault with a dedicated warning/diagnostic light, and shuts down output until condition is resolved

Digital Air Pressure guide makes air pressure adjustment a no-brainer.

Blowback start starts arc without the need of High Frequency which can interfere with surrounding electronics

Compact, yet powerful TIG welding/Plasma cutting features

Make regular, low dross plasma cuts on steel up to 5/8" thick with a maximum clean cut ability of 3/4"

Over Current indicator warns when duty cycle has been exceeded and interrupts welding/cutting

OK-to-cut indicator lights up when minimum air pressure is present

Renown arc stability for TIG/Stick functions

All-in-one portability

IDEAL FOR REGULARLY CUTTING_A_MAXIMUM 1"

MAXIMUM CUT FOR QUALITY @ 10-12 IPM (STEEL) 1 1/4"

Easy starting with Blow Back Pilot arc allows easy cutting of rusty and painted metals

Clean, smooth cuts and improved consumable life with the new Italian designed iPT 80 torch

3 Second pilot arc tip saver feature shuts down pilot arc after 3 seconds of contiuous operation if no cutting is present to prevent premature consumable wear

Adjustable post flow control up to 50 seconds to improve consumable and torch life

Over Current and Duty Cycle protection indicates fault with a dedicated warning/diagnostic light, and shuts down output until condition is resolved

Ideal for portable repair or farm / light shop use

weld up to 1/4" on single pass and 3/8" on multi pass; and cut up to 5/8" on plasma cutter

Dual Voltage design allows the unit to be used where 120V or 240V voltage is present.

AC and DC output welds any metal, including aluminum and magnesium.

Simple 2 position pulse allows you to select 1 Hz or 25 Hz for improved weld appearance and arc focus.

TIG, Stick or Plasma operation combined in one single unit.

Flip down Visor protects unit's control panel from sparks and dust.
