| Beveling |
m3 plasma is by far better suited for plasma beveling than any competitive system.
PT-36 Torch A number of things make a torch well suited for beveling, including accuracy, concentricity, ruggedness, and nozzle design. The PT-36 is the latest in ESAB’s long history of heavy-duty plasma torches. Like the PT-600 before it, the PT-36’s torch body and consumable production is held to a higher standard of accuracy and concentricity. This leads to more consistent bevel angles and part size. And when compared against competitive torches, the PT-36 is much more robust. With heavier, thicker nozzles, cups, shields, and retainers, the PT-36 holds up better in demanding beveling applications. Finally, with its long, pointed nozzle, the PT-36 allows the front end of the torch to stay closer to the plate when beveling. This means more shorter arc length and therefore more control over the arc for more accurate cutting. EPP Power Supplies 
One of the most important requirements when plasma bevel cutting is the ability to throw a long arc. When bevel cutting at 45 degrees through 1.25” thick plate, you are actually cutting through more than 1.75” of material. Add to that the increased standoff that naturally occurs when the torch tilts, and you need a very long arc. To create and maintain an arc that long, your plasma power source must have the capacity to supply a high voltage while supplying full cutting amperage. The EPP family of power supplies are designed to provide operating voltages in the range of 200 to 300 volts at full output current. Some competitive systems top out at around 175 volts, meaning they can’t throw an arc as far, and won’t provide the beveling performance you expect.
Under Water Beveling 
Unlike competitive systems, only the PT-36 can be equipped with an Air Curtain assembly for effective under water plasma beveling. This technique reduces arc glare and noise, while capturing the vast majority of the plasma fumes, and keeping the plate cool.
