Features

  • [Powerful Cutting Ability] Dual voltage 110/220V good for home, workshop and hardware shop use. Professional performance 1/2 clean cuts on Iron, Steel aluminum and copper with Inverter IGBT Technology. Very powerful for DIY and heavy duty project. The Maximum cutting thickness is recommended to 12mm@35A 110V 50PSI; 20mm@50A 220V 65PSI. Dry and compressed air is required. Power breaker up to 40A@110V 35A; Up to 30A@220V 50A.
  • [Pilot Arc]: bestarc plasma cutter with the pilot arc function. It is a high-frequency non-touch arc starting mode. The torch head does not need to touch the metal plate, making it effective on rusted, painted, or dirty metal surfaces. Adjustable PA function for extended pilot arc duration, reduced energy consumption in non-cutting work, reduced electrode burning, and extended consumables cutting life.
  • [Air Sensor Technology]: The air sensor built in machine displays air pressure on front panel of the machine. Users can adjust the air pressure manually through the air regulator (air pressure cannot be automatically adjusted). Air filter is installed in the machine, equipped with a quick-connect 1/4 NPT air connector, ready for use right out of the box. Once connected to an air compressor, the recommended air pressure should be within 65 PSI, with a flow rate of 250 liters per minute. Note: The compressor needs to be purchased separately.
  • [LED Screen Display]: The screen centrally displays parameters such as air pressure, voltage, and current, allowing users to understand the equipment status in real-time and adjust operations in a timely manner, improving operational efficiency. If the plasma cutter cannot work, the screen comes with an error code, making it easy to find out the problems.
  • [2T/4T/PA/PT Function]: Post time adjustable from 315s to cool the torch. Adjust the cooling time of the torch head to extend the service life of consumables. We recommend a cooling time of 4-8 seconds. The PA function allows pilot arc timing adjustment up to 15s; longer times are ideal for mesh cutting, shorter times help extend consumable life. 2T/4T automatic cutting release your finger.2T is a semi-automatic cutting control, and 4T is an automatic cutting control.

  • Cuts Great
Style: BTC500DP 10GEN 110/220
So far, it's performing well. I used it to cut 1/4" stainless and it was fast, clean, and as expected. Easy to setup. I just connected the power, air hose, and machine connections, along with the grounding clamp, and I was cutting fast. I had a Hypertherm Powermax 30xp that was DOA, so I picked this up to fill in on my projects while I get a replacement and this Bestarc works extremely well. ... show more

  • Easy to set up and priced right.
Style: BTC500DP 8GEN 110/220
The best plasma cutter I have used for home projects. I have Lincoln products and thought I’d try this one. Very happy and would definitely recommend.

  • Much better than Oxy-acetylene! Unless you’re cutting 1” thick material
This is a great non-touch plasma torch. The design makes it easy to set up all cutting parameters. It’s lightweight, with all external connections done without tools. It’s equipped with an air dryer, which should extend the torch expendable parts life. All controls are on the front panel, easily set and read, except for on/off switch. It can be flipped on or off from the front, once you know it’s located. I’ve cut metal with for years but I’m a first time plasma user. I quickly cut various thickness and conditions of steel, and found it intuitive how to set up the pressure and current. There’s a chart with recommendations, but I found thinner metal below 3/8” could be cut cleanly and quickly with the same setting. All you need to do is cut at the best rate, and that’s learned quickly within the first inch of cutting. I did find it more difficult to punch a hole through thicker metal with plasma than Oxy-acetylene (3/8” and thicker), but the thinner metal was as easy as Oxy-acetylene. I’m sure when I developed the proper technique, the thicker gauge metal will punch easily. I felt so confident after 15 minutes of playing with my new torch, I started and finished two projects I’d been waiting to do because my acetylene bottle was empty. With plasma; all you need is an air compressor, and electricity. And this unit will work on 110 or 220, and both have a 50% duty cycle. For my two projects I was cutting with 220, and it cut both 7/16 and 16 gauge quickly and cleanly by only changing air pressure and current. With Oxy-acetylene I would have had to change tips and played with torch settings and pressures as well. Plasma is so much easier, with no expense of gas, and bulk of the torch and hoses. I’ll never go back! If anyone that reads this wants to buy an Oxy-acetylene system lock-stock-and barrel call me;-). ... show more

  • For an inexpensive entry level plasma cutter, this is pretty great.
For an inexpensive entry level plasma cutter, this is pretty great. Now I will say, it is great as far as it's cutting capabilities and ease of use (and boy do I use it). There are a few reasons for 4 starts and not 5 though. 1. The handle part feels a bit cheap. Still, if you are just a small shop who needs to cut metal on occasion or a weekend warrior like myself, it'll do. If you are a shop doing a lot of metal fabrication, maybe spend a few bucks more on something more durable. 2. It claims to work with a small pancake compressor. I set this up immediately and yes, it does work, however a small pancake compressor is only good for small cuts with breaks in-between for the compressor to refill. I found that to maintain 45 PSI for what I was cutting, I has to set the compressor to 60 PSI and it ran out pretty fast. I changed to my slightly bigger 3 gal Harbor Freight compressor and it was waaaayyy better with the ability to cut for longer periods at a time. Just think of how long each blast will be and make sure you have a compressor that can keep up. For small holes and cuts, the pancake is probably ok. For larger cuts or long use cuts, bigger is better. 3. It can run on 110, but... you know. So I hooked it up to a regular 110 outlet and it worked great for light gauge metal. I worked my way up and by the time I got to lawnmower blades, it started having some issues keeping up. I switched to my 220 outlet and BAM!!!... it cut like a hot plasma knife through butter. Overall, know the application you will be using it for and make sure you have a setup that can accommodate. As long as you have the right power and air for the job you are doing, I have not had any issues with this thing keeping up. If you have been thinking of playing with plasma cutting but are on a budget and don't want to worry about gases and stuff, this is a great option. ... show more

  • Best arc pilot plasma cutter is awesome.
Style: BTC500DP 8GEN 110/220
This plasma cutter is amazing. Very easy to follow the set up instructions. I connected the leads, power and it came with a quick disconnect air fitting installed. Turned on & cut some 1/4” steel pieces and it cut very smoothly. I will need some practice to get proficient, but the first few cuts impressed me. Would buy again and would definitely recommend. Five stars! ... show more
