"Poor Man's" Plasma Torch

"Poor Man's" Plasma Torch WELDERS/TORCHES Welders/Torches 22-3-27 Here's the "poor man's" answer to conventional oxyacetylene, air-carbon and plasma-arc torches. The "MagnumFusion" torch uses special plasma tubes to generate a 10,000-degree ionized particle stream capable of quickly vaporizing any solid material, including rock and cement. "You can remove 1 linear foot of 3/4-in. weld in 12 seconds," says the company. "You can pierce 24-in. thick steel in 5 minutes, pins p in 15 minutes. Bore a 24-in. linear hole through rock or cement in 15 minutes." The system's tubes bend or extend for access into tight places, and produce no toxic gas, carbon, smoke, noise or arc flash. Using the system requires no surface preparation, eliminates collateral heat damage to surfaces, requires no power source (it runs on oxygen and the consumable tube) or compressors and is maintenance-free, having only one moving part. Portable and shop models are available. They sell for $549 and $1,049, respectively, including complementary lasma tbes Replacement tubes range from 92 cents to $3.50 per tube.
