Lincoln Electric FlexCut 45 Plasma Cutter, 25 ft Hand Torch, 120/230V, K5823-H
The Lincoln Electric FlexCut 45 plasma cutter Handheld Ready-Pak pairs a 45 A dual-voltage power source with a 25 ft FlexConnect hand torch. It runs on 120 V or 230 V single-phase power, cuts mild steel to 5/8 in. recommended and 7/8 in. maximum, and has a built-in CPC port, so the same machine can later run a CNC table.
Guided mode selection on the LCD covers cutting, gouging and grid or expanded-metal cutting, and Parts-in-Place detection checks the consumables. The non-high-frequency touch start with rapid arc restrike is CNC-safe and keeps the arc going through expanded metal, paint and rust. An inline air dryer is built in, and the air supply should be 80-120 psi.
The Ready-Pak also includes a work cable and ground clamp, an input power cord, a consumable package with nozzles, diffusers, electrodes, drag cups and a swirl ring, the air dryer's airline attachment and the operator's manual. Typical work ranges from HVAC ductwork and automotive bodywork or restoration to structural steel fabrication, art and custom fabrication, and switching between 120 V on site and 230 V in the shop needs no tools.
