AMERICAN-MADE CNC PLASMA Tables BUILT FOR CLEAN, RELIABLE METAL CUTTING

Due to the technological advantages of our CNC plasma cutting tables, we can provide you with more full production capabilities than typical plasma cutting machines. Our plasma tables are commonly used to cut steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and other conductive metals.

Please note that proper safety measures should be taken for various materials.

All ShopSabre and CNC machines and plasmas are 100% American-made. From the engineering/development to welding, painting, wiring, and final testing and assembly, we truly are the manufacturer.

Our machines aren’t the cheapest, but they are the best value. Unlike cheap imports and other low-cost American companies, we use only the highest-quality materials and build technology. This actually helps us cut costs by reducing our overhead and labor times while also reducing our maintenance and support demands in the field.

When we say free lifetime tech support, we mean we’ll do everything we can to support your machine for as long as you own it. We offer free and convenient tech support via email, phone, and internet connectivity. In rare cases, a technician may be necessary to service your machine. While on-site support is not free, it is very rare since our phone, email, and onboard diagnosis systems allow our team to be more hands-on.

Contact our support team immediately; we’ll help you troubleshoot. In rare cases, we may need to provide on-site support, but we suggest getting in touch with our team first, but in many cases, on-site will not be necessary. As a valued ShopSabre customer, you can expect that we will do everything we can to get your machine working immediately with minimal expense.

Our many satisfied customers can back up our promises to you. Simply ask for references or see what real ShopSabre shop owners have posted about our products and services. We stand behind every aspect of our machines, but we don’t want you to take our word for it. We also encourage you to look at more expensive machines and compare their quality to that of ours. Most of our customers who’ve purchased or seen other machines in action are blown away by the quality and value of our ShopSabre CNC plasmas.

Many of our clients are first-time CNC users. With our lifetime technical assistance line, you can be assured you’ll always have someone to speak with when you need help. We also include access to the ShopSabre introductory training class with every purchase of a new ShopSabre CNC plasma. You’ll get hands-on experience without the expense of paid training. We also include a manual with the machine and software with built-in tutorials.

Steel is critical because you are cutting with heat, which will translate into deflection over heating and cooling time. Aluminum has a much lower melting point, resulting in a higher risk of deflection in your CNC system when cutting from the heating and cooling. The steel construction brings a higher rigidity, allowing you to add thicker plates without risk of sagging or bending in the frame.

Most plasma water tables use water mixed with a plasma-table additive. The additive helps reduce rust, corrosion, bacteria growth, odor, and buildup in the table. You should use an additive designed specifically for CNC plasma tables, not random coolants, oils, or flammable liquids.

A plasma table is worth it for shops that regularly cut metal and want faster, more repeatable results than hand cutting or outsourcing. It can help improve throughput, reduce manual labor, keep more work in-house, and produce consistent parts from materials like mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and brass. Plasma cutting is especially useful for fabrication shops, repair shops, metal artists, manufacturers, and growing businesses that need reliable metal-cutting capacity.

It may not be worth it if you only cut metal occasionally, need to cut non-conductive materials, or require the ultra-fine edge quality of a fiber laser for certain thin-gauge or high-precision applications.

Plasma cutters require an electrically conductive material, so they are not used for non-conductive materials like wood, plastic, glass, stone, rubber, or ceramic. For metals, most common conductive metals can be plasma cut, including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and brass.

The bigger limitation is usually not whether the metal can conduct electricity, but whether it can be cut safely and cleanly with the specific plasma system, gas setup, table design, and material thickness. For example, aluminum can be cut with plasma, but aluminum cutting on a water table requires extra care to prevent hydrogen gas accumulation.
