Built For
- Budget-first cutters — $159 with torch, regulator, and hose included
- Clean sheet metal & plate — contact start works great on prepped steel
- HF-sensitive shops — no high-frequency start means no interference with nearby electronics
- Dual-voltage flexibility — 110V for thin sheet, 220V for thicker plate
- Not for rusty surfaces — contact start needs the tip to touch clean metal; for rusty steel see the CUT-50 PRO
- Not a welder — cutting only

Key Technical Features
What does contact start mean?
You touch the tip to the metal to start the arc — simple and reliable on clean steel, with no high-frequency interference to nearby electronics like radios or CNC gear.
What does post-flow do?
Air keeps flowing after the arc stops, cooling the torch and tip. It extends consumable life — tips and electrodes cost money.
Can it cut without high frequency?
Yes — contact start needs no HF at all. If you run sensitive electronics nearby, that's a genuine advantage over HF-start cutters.
How thick can it cut?
40A output handles common sheet and plate work on 220V; capacity is reduced on 110V. For 1/2" clean cuts and rusty steel, step up to the CUT-50 PRO.
CUT-50 or CUT-50 PRO?
Clean prepped steel on a budget — CUT-50. Rusty, painted, or dirty steel with pilot arc and a pressure display — CUT-50 PRO for one dollar more.
Real-World Use Cases
Sheet metal project work
Clean prepped steel cuts fast with adjustable current — sign making, brackets, and panels.
Electronics-friendly shops
No high-frequency start means you can cut near radios and computers without interference.
First plasma cutter
Torch, regulator, and hose included at $159 — the complete budget entry into plasma cutting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the box?
PT31 plasma cutting torch, gas hose, air regulator, and operation manual.
Why does the tip need to touch the metal?
CUT-50 uses contact start — the arc begins when the tip contacts the steel. For rusty or painted surfaces, see the CUT-50 PRO with pilot arc.
Does it interfere with electronics?
No — contact start means no high-frequency interference, a real advantage near radios or CNC equipment.
How thick can it cut?
40A output covers common sheet and plate on 220V; use 110V for thin sheet. For 1/2-inch clean cuts, see the CUT-50 PRO.
Does it need an air compressor?
Yes — regulator and hose are included; you supply a standard shop compressor.
Is it a welder too?
No — cutting only. The Simder MIG-250 combines MIG, TIG, stick, and plasma cutting in one machine.
