ESAB PowerCut 650
A change of name? Well…you’re absolutely right and there is every reason why ESAB have named this beast the POWERCUT! Yes! It is very powerful!
Now…this new plasma cutter version comes with everything that previous handyplasma models have, except 3 things.
1) More Comfort (with it’s trigger lock-in feature)
2) More Compatibility (See Specifications)
3) MORE CUTTING POWER! (well..just like you expected…right?)
This is a really good machine for small craft work, especially cutting aluminium and you will be amazed at how small the unit actually is compare to other brands out there. Even though this plasma cutter is a bit dated now, but it will still do the job very well. Ok listen up, we can brag about this machine all day, but we feel that it’s best to determine yourself by showing you the specs.

What do we think?
If you enjoy working with a smaller size torch that is at a 75 degrees angle, then you will absolutely love this plasma cutter unit which comes at an affordable price. In saying that, it is only a handheld machine so you better have steady hands to ensure you can get the most out of it’s cutting power and also wear a pair of safety glove along with other safety equipment to avoid any unnecessary injury.
