Practical power comparison
- 3kW: can be considered when budget is tight and production demands are lighter.
- 6kW: often a stronger production choice for shops that cut 1/4 inch steel regularly.
- 12kW: considered when output, speed, and thicker material range justify the added investment.
What matters besides power?
- Assist gas setup
- Compressor capacity when using air
- Material quality
- Cutting speed expectations
- Operator training
- Service and support availability
