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 system designed to support and position sheet metal while a plasma torch cuts it with precision. The machine combines a rigid cutting bed with automated motion control and torch height regulation to produce accurate, repeatable parts across a wide range of conductive metals.
Q: What is the Firecut CNC plasma cutting table range?
A: The Firecut range is a family of CNC plasma cutting tables designed to suit different production levels. It includes compact workshop machines for entry-level fabrication, through to high-speed production models and large-format industrial systems. All Firecut machines share the same core engineering principles of rigidity, accuracy, and CNC automation.
Q: What materials can Firecut machines cut?
A: Firecut CNC plasma cutting tables can cut all electrically conductive metals, including:
- Mild steel
- Stainless steel
- Aluminium
- Galvanised steel
- Copper and brass
Cut quality and speed depend on plasma power source and material thickness.
Q: What size options are available in the Firecut range?
A: Firecut machines are available in multiple working areas depending on the model:
- Firecut: compact workshop formats from 1m × 1m up to 3m × 1.5m
- Firecut Pro: medium production sizes up to 4m × 2m
- Firecut Excel: large-format industrial tables up to 15m × 3m
This allows users to select a machine based on sheet size, throughput, and production scale.
Q: How does Firecut differ across the range?
A: Each model in the Firecut range is designed for a different level of production:
- Firecut: entry-level precision for small workshops and training environments
- Firecut Pro: higher speed and durability for continuous production use
- Firecut Excel: large-format, high-power industrial cutting with advanced process options
All models maintain the same CNC control ecosystem and core build quality.
Q: What thickness can a Firecut plasma cutting table handle?
A: Cutting thickness depends on the plasma power source fitted to the machine. Firecut systems can handle light gauge sheet metal through to heavy plate cutting when equipped with higher-amperage plasma systems such as Hypertherm industrial units.
Q: What software is used with Firecut machines?
A: Firecut CNC plasma cutting tables integrate with Hypertherm Phoenix control software and ProNest CAD/CAM nesting software. This allows users to import CAD files, optimise material usage, and automate cutting paths for efficient production workflows.
Q: How accurate are Firecut CNC plasma cutting tables?
A: Accuracy varies slightly across the range, with higher-spec models delivering increased precision and speed. All Firecut machines are built with rigid steel frames, linear motion systems, and CNC control systems designed to deliver consistent repeatability and clean cut quality.
Q: Is a plasma cutting table suitable for small workshops?
A: Yes. The Firecut range includes compact models specifically designed for small fabrication shops, startups, farms, and training environments. Larger models are available for businesses that require higher throughput or industrial production capacity.
Q: How do I choose the right Firecut model?
A: Selection depends on three key factors:
- Sheet size you regularly process
- Required cutting speed and production volume
- Material thickness and complexity of parts
Firecut suits light to entry-level use, Firecut Pro is designed for continuous production, and Firecut Excel is intended for large-scale industrial fabrication.
Q: What is the difference between plasma cutting and laser cutting?
A: Plasma cutting is generally faster and more cost-effective for cutting thicker conductive metals, while laser cutting offers higher precision on thin materials. Firecut systems are optimised for fabrication environments where speed, flexibility, and cost efficiency are priorities.
Q: How long does a Firecut CNC plasma cutting table last?
A: With proper maintenance, Firecut machines are designed for long-term industrial use. The rigid frame construction and industrial-grade components are intended to deliver consistent performance over many years of operation.
Q: Is installation and training provided?
A: Firecut systems are typically supplied with installation support and operator training. This ensures correct setup, safe operation, and optimal use of the CNC control and nesting software from day one.
