What it welds
The LOTOS LT5000D Plasma Cutter is a plasma cutter on 240-volt input.
Cut capacity, per the maker: "Clean Cut 3/4 inch". Makers mix rated, clean and severance figures; compare like with like. Cut capacity explained.
Check the air requirement in the manual; your compressor has to deliver that flow continuously at that pressure.
OSHA's minimum lens for light plasma cutting is shade 8, and its fire rule wants combustibles 35 feet away or shielded. Shade chart.
Also on the listing: dimensions of 10 x 13 x 26 inches and a weight of 21.4 lb.
