FLEXCUT ™ 80 HEAVY-DUTY, 80 AMPS, 80% DUTY CYCLE
FLEXCUT™ 80 HEAVY-DUTY, 80 AMPS, 80% DUTY CYCLE
Heavy-Duty, 80 AmpsFlexCut™ 80Whether cutting fine artwork or fabricating steel parts in a production setting, customers want a plasma solution that will give them the cleanest and fastest cuts possible. With 80 amps at 80% duty cycle, the FlexCut™ 80 adds power to the speed and precision equation.
Built on an inverter platform, the FlexCut 80 is a constant-current plasma cutting power source that delivers superior cut quality with minimal dross – which minimizes the need for secondary finishing operations. Add to that our patent-pending consumable designs (providing up to three times longer consumable life than competitors) and the FlexCut 80 has the potential to significantly reduce your operating costs.
FlexCut 80 initiates the plasma arc with a simple yet reliable touch-start mechanism that eliminates many of the failure problems associated with high-frequency start systems. The control system includes Parts-in-Place™, a feature that ensures that the consumables are in place before starting the cutting or gouging process.

Low Operating Costs Keeping costs under control is important to any efficient plasma cutting operation. FlexCut 80 ensures up to three times longer consumable life and maintains faster cut speeds, both of which deliver higher productivity over less time. And the completed cut is virtually dross-free, which means less downtime and more run time.
Best Cut Performance FlexCut 80 is designed to deliver on all fronts. Whether you’re piercing up to 3/4 in. (19 mm) mild steel material in a mechanized cutting application, or cutting expanded metal, you can count on less edge bevel and superior edge quality compared to competing cutting systems.
Easy to Set, Easy to Use The sooner your plasma cutting operation can get started, the more productive it will be. FlexCut 80 requires very little time or effort to get down to the business of cutting. Controls are simple, which makes setup easy, and you can get a consistent and reliable arc without needing to rely on high-frequency start systems.
