plasma cutters
Ionized arc tools
Plasma cutters are tools that cut through electrically conductive metals using a jet of superheated ionized gas—plasma.
The arc reaches temperatures hot enough to melt steel, while compressed air blows the molten metal away, creating clean cuts.
They're standard equipment in metal fabrication, auto body work, and industrial manufacturing: He used a plasma cutter to slice through the quarter-inch steel plate.
