Plasma Cutting With Small Air Compressor (WILL IT CUT??)

- Plasma cutting with small air compressor. I brought a new very small air compressor to see if it was capable of running my plasma cutter. Your plasma Cutter Air Setup is a huge part of the power your machine will have .Cut 50 plasma air requirements or cut 40 plasma requires quite a large air supply but my thoughts are if you turn down your cutting amperage as well as your psi maybe we can get away with a smaller air compressor when plasma cutting. But you wont be able to cut long lengths with out giving it time to catch up and refill your holding tank. I wanted to find the lowest air pressure for plasma cutting and still be able to cut at least 3mm thick. Watch my video to find out what size compressor for plasma cutter you can get away with.

I really, really appreciate this vid, Pete. Just the info I wanted and needed. God bless ya, Pete!
Glad you enjoyed it
THIS is the info i needed but couldnt find. THANK YOU! subscribed.
cool
Thank you so much!! that's the experiment I was looking for!!!!! Best regards from Ukraine!!!!!:)
your very welcome
Wow Pete Thank you so much this is exactly what I wanted to know.
I have an air compressor almost the same and I was really curious to know if it would be suitable for plasma cutting.
And thank you now I know that indeed.
Keep up the good work Well done I enjoy watching your videos.
You are very welcome
cheers Pete
Love your videos, Bloke! Keep em coming. I need the help. Dang! Retired B.S.E.E. Am currently building a little spot welder from high power (1000watt) microwave transformer. Will be a very KISS prototype. Something that matches my IQ. Cheers! Ron
Hey Ron any videos of it ?
G'day Pete
Been using one for ever doing exactly that...scrap art .
Works a treat yeeeeehaaaaa!😎⚡
cool mate ,I didn't think it would work
hi Pete I'm looking fo r convention tig to plasma. thank you very much I'm always here for u. you ok.
Thankyou, just what I wanted
welcome
Great stuff Pete. Thanks
No worries
Thanks mate, good video answerd my questions .
Glad to help
Really helpful!
cheers
You are a brilliant man thank you
So nice of you
Yep - have same compressor here under another brand and works fine... However, its damp air thats cursed me in Northern Europe.. Whats a good drying fix.. I just have a couple of those inline filters, still get very spitty spluttering arc.
I just use an inline filter, ruclips.net/video/kB_hLrYb2Ec/видео.html
nice one pete
Thanks mate
Massive motor for such a small tank.
Hi joe you think ?
G'day Pete ✌👍
Hi mate how goes it ??
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Pete knows more than Pete thinks he knows. I wonder how it would work with 6mm/1/4”?
Well it wont but I didn't say that , But if you are cutting thin bits and pieces it will work fine.
How about adding another similar compressor and connect those 2 using pneumatic solenoid valve 3/2 220v, it got 1 out 2 in. When compressor restart it will trigger the solenoid and altered input air from another compressor that previously full charge..I think that will give more longer cut but with the same load of electricity because compressor will not restart at the same time..yehaaaa..love all your videos sir
Wow that sound like a new video ,cheers Pete
@@petestools I've found that 2 way solenoid 220v 2 pcs and a 3 phase contactor with 1NC 1NO will suit best.. When compressor 1 full it will give no power to solenoid valve.. This cable will be our control signal.. It connect to A1 and A2 at the contactor.. 2 way solenoid valve no.1 will get power from NC.. And another ( solenoid valve no. 2) will get NO..rundown is when compressor 1 in a full pressure -> 2 way solenoid no.1 will always open.. When compressor 1 in a charge state ( restart) - > 2 way solenoid no. 1 will close and no. 2 will open the line from compressor no. 2.. It will in this state until compressor no. 1 is full.. And the whole cycle repeat..
Should work with supersilent air compressor? Usually they have less power 0.75 or 1hp and sometimes 1.5hp. Should work also with small reservoir like portable air compressor or extreme supersilent portable air compressor?
I know is possible to tune the pressure switch to start earlier, before it lost useful pressure.
There are plasma cutters with built in low hp oil less air compressor that work, they are not the best, but they work. Maybe an oilless motor with little resevoir perform better and provide correct airflow.
Good info Thanks
9 liter compresor its ok for plasma sir.?
only for very very short cuts
Nice
Thanks
Good video. Told me what I needed to know. But PLEASE SLOW DOWN ON YOUR DELIVERY! As a Yank, I normally have no trouble with an Aussie accent but I had to run the video twice to understand what was being said
Thanks for the tips! Its a KIWI accent MATE lol
@@petestools Love Aussies AND Kiwi's ! :)
Really really appreciate this video!!! I have the Walmart Campbell Hausfeld above and was really wondering what on earth I could get away with!! Thanks much ( which plasma cutter above do you have ,?? cut 40? is that Amico?)
Just a generic 40 amp machine nothing flash I think its a mitec
cheers pete
@@petestools Hey Pete thanks!!- So will the Walmart Campbell compressor above work well with the Lotus Plasma cutter above??? Thanks much!!
Yeeeehaaaa!
YEEEEEE- HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Nice video except you need to slow your speech down so it can be better understood.
LOL ,I have a lot to say lol
Yeeeeeehhaaaaaa
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Thanks, great vid!
