A dedicated plasma cutter for metal cutting projects. Choose it when cutting is the main job in your garage or workshop.
The LED current display and front adjustment dial keep the main controls together. Check settings against the material and matching instructions.
Dual-voltage input gives you 110V / 220V options. Confirm the available circuit and the output conditions for your chosen supply.
Stay with contact start for this model, or compare non-contact pilot arc cutters when that is the starting method you need.

PLAN YOUR SETUP
Check the machine label, matching instructions and supplies for your chosen process before first use.
110V / 220V dual-voltage input. Confirm the plug, circuit and electrical requirements for your exact machine. Use a suitable work area, ventilation and protective equipment.
Prepare a separate compressed-air source and suitable air hose. Use clean, dry air and the regulator setting specified for this exact model.
This checklist helps you plan supplies. Read the model manual and follow its setup and safety instructions before use.
UNBOX WITH CONFIDENCE

Match the shipment to your selected product and current packing list. The external air source and process supplies listed here are separate preparation items.
MATCH THE TORCH, THEN THE PART
Start with the torch marking, then check the machine-end fittings and the consumable dimensions. A similar machine name alone does not confirm fit.
| Process | Torch / equipment family | What to match |
|---|---|---|
| Plasma cutting | PT31 | PT31 marking, tip / electrode dimensions, cup thread and current rating; for a complete torch, also confirm the air fitting and trigger connector. |
Send your model, order number if available, torch marking, and clear photos of the torch head and machine-end connectors. We will help identify the matching part.
Yes. This air-plasma cutter needs an external compressed-air source. Prepare a suitable hose and follow the pressure and flow requirements for the exact machine.
PLC55X uses contact start. For non-contact pilot arc cutting, compare PLC55Pro and PLC65Pro.
Start with the PT31 torch supplied with this model. Match the tip, electrode and cup dimensions, then confirm the current rating. Send photos if the torch has been replaced or its marking is unclear.
PLC55X is a dedicated plasma cutter. For a machine that combines cutting with TIG and Stick welding, explore 520TSCPF or CT-418.
Start with the arc-start method, then check the air supply, electrical setup, current price and the guide for each model.
