Lincoln Electric FlexCut 85 Plasma Cutter, Power Source Only, 200-600V, K5826-PS
The Lincoln Electric FlexCut 85 plasma cutter power source delivers 85 A on 200-600 V single- or three-phase input, with eight cutting processes and built-in CNC ports for automatic table detection. It cuts mild steel to 1 in. recommended and 1-1/4 in. maximum, and this version comes without a torch; the Ready-Paks add a 25 ft FlexConnect PRO torch.
The eight processes are drag, fine, extended and precision cutting, gouging, marking, grid or expanded-metal cutting and mechanized cutting. A large LCD shows machine status in real time and guides process setup, which helps in shops where several operators share one machine. FlexConnect torch heads and cables change in seconds without tools, for example from a handheld drag setup to a mechanized torch.
The integrated air dryer treats the incoming air, which should be 80-120 psi, and the non-high-frequency touch start with rapid arc restrike is CNC-safe. Compatible torches include FlexConnect PRO handheld and mechanized torches, with replacement torch cables in 25 ft and 50 ft lengths for larger CNC tables. It suits maintenance and repair, construction and general fabrication, as well as structural steel contractors and CNC cutting operations.
