Plasma Cutter with built in air compressor?
Is there a plasma cutter on the market that has a built in air compressor and a CPC port? Trying to set up a mobile system.

Re: Plasma Cutter with built in air compressor?
I am not aware of a plasma cutter with an inbuilt air compressor AND a CPC connector.
The problem is the smaller plasma cutters are not really built for cnc control applications.
However, that being said, you could add your own connector for CNC control by jumpering wires on to pick up the raw arc voltage, and also to fire the torch
The manual is here for the only plasma cutter I know with an inbuilt air compressor, the hypertherm 30 air, as linked to above:

good luck on your search.
