Laser Vs Plasma Ultimate Shootout Head to head Comparison

Hi, how thick of steel will a laser cutter cut? I know it depends on the power but if you could list the powers and thickness that would really help. I have looked some but never got a real good answer

Whats maximum thickness of laser cutting?

hello I have a problem with my laser 1530 when I do the cutting the machine makes zig zag on the sheet of sheet metal wanted to know what it is due to and if possible how to fix it thank you

I have a td cutmaster 40. Its bad about wanting to curve on the edges on steel. Is this an issue on a cnc plasma table?

Also ... i'm spamming this chat i know, but the kerf of the cut shows that plasma was the wrong choice for this cut.
It's all about the kerf. Plasma is technically a thermal traditionall process and the laser is just at home at these thicknesses.
The plasma kerf is gigantic compared to the laser.
It can be compensated for with leadin/out, but laser is so at home with these thin metals.

Loved this video. Ty

Laser is just looking for distance when it it bumps it's nose, plasma is looking for current.

Comparing a laser to plasma is difficult. If the plasma cost as much as your laser it would be far more capable.
That's an air plasma.
I run a 360A plasma. I leave the laser stuff to the laser. The plasma can cut 40mm steel at 1000mm/minute.
Laser can never touch that. Plasma can never touch laser at thin sheets the same.


I've used that very hypertherm machine. It's a garage plasma. Reliable and cuts anything that leads electricity but not a performance machine.
A "!fine" plasma is night and day different. (run with oxy on mild).
Airplasma eats electrodes and nozzles. Fine-plasma nozzles and cathodes lasts for a looong time.

I am looking at a 1k Fiber laser./DIY.

What would be your advice concerning maintenance, durability of the machine; arc damage, laser damage...etc. vs plasma, as well as cost of operation and ROI.

Hi, When you set up the laser does the cut line cut exactly on the drawing line, or do you set a waste side of the line and it stays a few thou off to compensate? Or do you draw with an offset to make up for the cut thickness? If a drew 1/8" steel with a finger joint pattern would two pieces interlock with some wiggle room? Thanks cool video.

Lazer is king compared to plasma.

Nice video shame you did not include water jet cutting!!!

Thank you for sharing the video. We have family businesses and I'm persuading my family to buy one of this kinds of machine. It would replace our old stamp machines. We work with metal and INOX sheets (1×2meters 1,25x2.5m and 1,5x3m) all kind of thickness(from range 0.2mm up to 5mm).
Do you think I could find something interesting for approximately 30k Euros? Im in Europe
Thank you

Dam ! Those Lazer cuts are good!👍

i ve seen better machines, smething like optical movement of the laser. amazing quick

Great content. Love the workshop, serious professionalism going on.

Do you ever run the laser lights out? Mean while you are not there and it cuts small parts all night?

Beautiful videography, thats easy, i would expect any laser to be able to cut thin metal, i want to see a laser machine a straight 90 degree cut on 3 inch steel

I would like a modern machine for designing and cutting 5ml iron plates.Automatically

Laser Win

Good one

What is the besst machine for wood work?

Does the fiber laser need oxgen or nitrogen assist?

Can you explain the benefits

Mada and bodrpro lazer is...... good company. He is best choice..and good cuting...best features

CNC...vmc....lazer.... (Operator)

compare to fiber laser, plasma is like a stone age tool

Is it possible to laser cut thin pre-painted aluminum and steel without damaging the paint? .019 - .024 thickness.
Thanks

Laser cutting(trumpf) vs plazma(hpr xd 130) cutting 10mm @

Laser and waterjet blow plasma away, especially for production work. But I like plasma, too.

pogi ko talaga

I like it f 🙏🙏🙏

You saved my money, thanks dear .

The badly cut edge on that workbench drives me nuts. What was it cut with ,a chainsaw?

This is a perfect video, exactly what I wanted to know how plasma cut quality companies to a laser. Just curious what brand is your laser?

Well the price of a laser is out of reach for the average person, ill take the plasma over the price for laser any day

laser is smart and fast, the plasma is slow but have more brutal force..

Plasma is strong than laser

Soooo... What you're saying is, laser is better? Right?

hi, please if i want to cut a 12 cm thick copper what wiil cost me ?

Thank you for this video. My shop is in the same category as yours and I'm considering buying a laser table. I'd buy one tomorrow for $50k if I thought it would be reliable.

Лазер-более точная деталь.Шов аккуратнее.Толщина не большая,до 16мм.Но нельзя резать цветные металлы.Плазма-более грубые детали.Более толстые.В основном для заготовок.

you need to use 10 mm plate for testing. then you can do comparison. and one more thing change the plasma nozzle into smaller one if you wanna cut thin sheet

What the program to design laser machine files

I run a welding shop and I'm considering buying a plasma cnc. What would you recommend for someone looking to break into the market? How do you find your customers?

Do you have plasma and portable laser field cutters for 30 inches diameter stainless steel pipes?

Who makes your fiber laser

Great video! I currently have a hypertherm powermax with a STV cnc table. Do you have any recommendations for a drum sander or deburring machine for the dross? Dont really wanna spend more then 10 grand and there isn't a whole lot of info online. Thanks for any info you can provide.

1 kw laser starts with 25
without the pipe cutting option

plasma 7K

plasma will cut 3/4 steel
the 1 kw laser can not cut 3/4
