Output current (amperage range) determines the power of the plasma arc and directly impacts cutting speed, quality, and maximum thickness. A wider amperage range provides flexibility, allowing you to fine-tune the cutter for thin or thick materials. Lincoln plasma cutters range from the 10-20A output on the Lincoln 20 Plasma Cutter (great for light-duty tasks) to the 20-100A output on the Tomahawk 1500 (ideal for demanding industrial jobs). This broad selection means you can choose a model optimized for your workload, balancing power requirements with portability and cost.
