Snap-on Tools has launched the new Plasma20i Plasma Arc Cutting Machine for body shops, mobile truck repair businesses and general fabricators.

The small, 22-pound unit allows for lightweight portability in the shop or on the job site, and offers an adjustable amperage range from five to 20 amps and accepts 115-volt input power supply at minimum current requirements.

“This is the transportable solution so many professionals need in a plasma arc cutter,” said Mike DeKeuster, Snap-on product manager. “The Plasma20i is ideal for a variety of ferrous, non-ferrous and high strength materials. Even with its compact size, it’s powerful enough to cut up to ¼” thickness, and the adjustable amperage makes it easy to lessen distortion when working on thinner materials.”

To save time in applications like panel removal around spot welds, the plasma cutter adjusts cut depths to the top layer of material without disturbing the base layer, Snap-on adds.

The tool package also includes an air filter and pressure regulator, so technicians can choose a nitrogen air supply or compressed air supply.
