What is FIRECUT Plasma Cutting Table?
A plasma cutting table is a specialised CNC platform designed to hold workpieces securely while a high-velocity plasma torch cuts sheet metal with precision and speed. These tables are essential in fabrication environments, enabling consistent accuracy, efficient material handling, and reduced post-cut finishing. Many plasma cutting tables incorporate features such as automatic torch height control and modular slat systems for improved cut quality and productivity.
The FIRECUT CNC cutting table is the new plasma cutting solution from CityPlasma. Combining robust engineering, advanced control systems, and superior cut quality to deliver high performance in industrial and precision fabrication environments.
FIRECUT gives you the speed and flexibility to meet your manufacturing demands. Designed for productivity, built for longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing the right plasma cutting table is essential for achieving accuracy, efficiency, and consistent cut quality in metal fabrication. Below you’ll find answers to common questions about how plasma cutting tables work, what materials they handle, and why FIRECUT is a trusted CNC plasma cutting solution.
Q: What is a plasma cutting table?
A: A plasma cutting table is a CNC-controlled cutting platform designed to hold and support sheet metal while a plasma torch cuts it with high precision. The table provides a stable work surface, accurate motion control, and integrated systems such as torch height control to ensure consistent cut quality across a wide range of materials and thicknesses.
Q: What materials can be cut on a plasma cutting table?
A: A plasma cutting table can cut any electrically conductive metal, including:
-
Mild steel
-
Stainless steel
-
Aluminium
-
Galvanised steel
-
Copper and brass
The FIRECUT plasma cutting table is engineered to deliver clean, accurate cuts across all common fabrication materials.
Q: What thickness can a plasma cutting table handle?
A: The maximum cutting thickness depends on the plasma power source fitted to the table. A professional-grade plasma cutting table such as FireCut can cut thin sheet metal for precision work as well as thicker plate for structural and industrial applications. Higher-amperage plasma systems allow deeper penetration while maintaining edge quality.
Q: What makes a high-quality plasma cutting table?
