A non-touch plasma cutter is generally better because it uses a pilot arc to start the cut without the torch tip touching the metal, resulting in less wear on consumables and cleaner cuts. Touch plasma cutters require contact with the metal to initiate the arc, which can reduce tip life and may lead to rougher starts. Overall, non-touch models offer greater convenience and longevity.
