Plasma Cutter, AirForce 40i 500576

Shipping was fast. Item arrived as described. We have not put it to the test yet but we have used it on a few small projects. The machine cuts clean and pretty quickly. Our main fabricator says its made is life easier.

Light weight,a handle would be nice

Great plasma cutter for my projects

I bought this unit about a month ago and I am very pleased with results. It is very well made and it was at my doorstep within 7 days of ordering. If you are cutting steel 22 gauge to 1/2" I recomend this product, easy setup and with a little practice your cutting like a pro.

I bought this a little over a month ago. I had a similar model made by Klutch that was only 110v. I believe they have discontinued it. I had used the Klutch cutter for about a year and a half. It still works but it was struggling. After reading reviews I decided I would upgrade, I was concerned the one I had could quit at any minute. So, I pulled the trigger on this and man what a difference. I wish I would have bought a long time ago! It’s powerful! I run it on the 220v and everything I have thrown at it so far is a breeze! Definitely worth the money!! Don’t let the size of the unit fool you!! When I took it out of the box I was initially disappointed and believed I had wasted my money.. I was wrong! This thing is amazing! All PRO’s no CON’s!!

You won’t go wrong with this plasma cutter. It can cut 5/8+ Inch. Does everything I need. The ordering process was great Hobart shipped it directly to my home. And Northern Tool had the best price around and they let me use a coupon. So they by far are the beat deal around. Don’t wast your money on a smaller machine this one will do everything and then some. I have used it around the shop and farm and it beats a old torch set up. Thanks Hobart !!

Had this new Plasma Cutter for a couple of months and have used the unit even more than I thought I would. Had to cut a notch out of some 1/2" steel and, while it took a while (I had a poor working angle at it), it did the job. It has worked flawlessly from the first minute.

Having wanted a plasma cutter for a long time I opted for this Hobart 40i. I was quite surprised with the small size and light weight. Plenty of cutting ability for my needs (small farm/fabrication) and the dual voltage option gives me plenty of flexibility. I have only used it with 240v so far and am real happy with the performance. I went with the Hobart (/Miller) because I have had one of their dual voltage MIG machines for several years and have been very impressed with the quality and performance. I wasn’t disappointed with the 40i and it’s made in the USA.

This is one of those tools you’ll regret not buying sooner. Maybe someday I’ll outgrow the 40i but as a home wrench building Jeeps and race cars this is my new favorite tool and more than up to the task.

I bought this plasma cutter 1 month ago and used it several times. Very impressed with arc control and size. They could have used a larger grounding wire but other than that nice tool.
