AHP Alpha-Cut 825i 60 Amp Plasma Cutter 7/8 in. Clean Cut 110-Volt/220-Volt Dual Voltage Compact and Lightweight
The all new AHP Alpha-Cut 825i features IGBT inverter design platform, built specifically for fabricators that need a plasma cutter handy, but don't want to pay thousands of dollars to get into the plasma cutting business. Alpha-Cut 825i offers you plenty of cutting power with 60 Amp output. This is enough to routinely cut 5/8 in. thick steel on a daily basis. And when needed to, the AHP cutter can knock out relatively clean cuts up to 7/8 in. and a maximum cut capability of over 1 in. thick. Dual voltage design allows Alpha-Cut 825i to operate at 120-Volt power with the supplied adapter, at a reduced maximum output. The genuine Italian-designed Innotec iPT 60 torch coupled with the AHP 825i's all new digital design favors the use of lower CFM air compressors compared to competitor models. New design allows the pilot arc to automatically restart after the cut is lost. The adjustable post flow also allows the operator to optimize consumable life and productivity. When comparing to other brands, don't be fooled by some other brands that also feature so called iPT 60 torches. If they are not Innotec, they are not a true iPT 60. These are cheap copies of the original Italian PT and iPT design, often not even functioning the same way internally. This unit's pilot arc function additionally features a tip saving function and a continuously restarting pilot arc function which allows you to cut expanded metal or extremely rusted/dirty material without having to re-trigger the torch.
Comes with iPT-60 plasma cutting torch
Dual voltage 120-Volt/240-Volt input
20 Amp to 60 Amp output range
35% duty cycle at maximum amps output
Post flow: adjustable up to 60-seconds for maximum consumable/torch life
Start type: blow-back with pilot arc function (Tip saver and auto restart)
Input cable: 6.5 ft. with NEMA 6 to 50 plug (standard welder/cutter 240-Volt plug)
Stock consumable size: 1.1 mm (50 Amp to 60 Amp)
Optional consumable sizes: 0.6 mm (20 Amp to 25 Amp) 0.8 mm (25 Amp to 30 Amp) 0.9 mm (30 Amp to 40 Amp) 1.0 mm (40 Amp to 50 Amp) 1.1 mm (50 Amp to 60 Amp)
Minimum compressor requirement: 4.5 to 5 cfm at 90 psi, 25 Gal.
Other requirement: the air must be dry for best consumable life and minimal operational problems, an air dryer must be mounted inline between plasma cutter and compressor (the supplied regulator/water trap is not mean to be used as a primary dryer, it is designed to be a final stage catch for moisture created during coupling and uncoupling)
Suggested daily cut: up to 5/8 in.
