Plasma Cutting
Cutting any electrically conductive metal, including stainless and aluminum, using a high-velocity plasma arc. Runs by hand for fit-up and repair work or on CNC tables for production parts. Plasma is faster and cleaner than oxy-fuel on thinner material and is the go-to process in most modern fab shops.
