tig to plasma cutter conversion
Ive had an idea after seeing the welder/cutter in another thread.
Is it possible to use an inverter tig/mma welder as a plasma cutter if you change the torch and put compressed air to it instead of argon? or is it
more involved than that?

Plasma is high voltage, low current 10,000 volt, tig is 80v high current, I do not think it will work.

Thanks... You live and learn!
I was wondering the same thing with my Tig machine.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
