The Hypertherm Powermax 30 AIR is the best plasma cutter with a built-in air compressor — delivering high performance in the smallest and lightest package in its class. Designed for true portability, you can take this rugged plasma cutter anywhere there’s single-phase power. No external air compressor needed — just plug it in, attach the work clamp, and start cutting.
Thanks to Auto-Voltage™ technology, the Powermax 30 AIR automatically adapts to 120V or 240V power with included adapter plugs, making setup fast and simple. Despite its compact size, it delivers exceptional cutting capacity — up to 5/8 inch severance on mild steel — with smooth, clean results and minimal dross.
Built for professionals and DIYers alike, the Powermax 30 AIR features a continuous pilot arc for easily cutting metal grates and rusted surfaces, plus a patent-pending consumable design that ensures consistent performance by optimizing airflow from the internal compressor. Its ergonomic T30 torch is heat-resistant, impact-tough, and designed for great arc visibility.
