02 21 17 snap OnSnap-on has released its PLASMA20i Plasma Arc Cutting Machine, designed as a lightweight, portable cutting tool for body shops, mobile truck repair businesses and general fabricators.

Adept at handling a variety of jobs without sacrificing performance, Snap-on says the 22 lb. unit allows for lightweight portability in the shop or on the job site. It offers an adjustable amperage range from five to 20 amps and accepts 115-volt input power supply at minimum current requirements, the company says.

 “This is the transportable solution so many professionals need in a plasma arc cutter,” says Snap-on product Manager Mike DeKeuster. “The PLASMA20i is ideal for a variety of ferrous, non-ferrous and high strength materials. Even with its compact size, it’s powerful enough to cut up to 1/4 in. thickness, and the adjustable amperage makes it easy to lessen distortion when working on thinner materials.”

For applications such as panel removal around spot welds,Snap-on says the plasma cutter adjusts cut depths to the top layer of material without disturbing the base layer, so technicians save valuable time.  

The PLASMA20i package also contains an air filter and pressure regulator, so technicians can choose a nitrogen air supply or compressed air supply, making it extremely handy on-the-go in environments where compressed air might not be available, the company says.
