Two lightweight plasma cutters from Hobart Welding Products offer increased portability and flexible power options. The AirForce 500i can plug into 115- or 130v AC power receptacles for a 3/8-inch rated cut on mild steel. For heavy-duty applications, the AirForce 700i, powered by 230v AC, delivers a rated 7/8-inch cut on mild steel at 50-percent duty cycle. The units come with extra replacement tips (two tips, two electrodes), and a convenient cable management strap for easy transportation. When either unit is attached to an air compressor, Hobart’s new HP torch is more energy efficient using less gas flow/pressure to achieve the same output as previous models. The AirForce 500i requires a 3.0 cubic foot per minute (cfm) gas flow/pressure at 90-120 psi. The AirForce 700i requires 4.8 cfm at 90-120 psi.
