Made and perfected in Australia

We firmly believe that Australian manufacturing is right up there with the best. And that’s why our range of CNC Plasma Cutters are designed and made right here in Australia.

In addition, SUREFIRE partners with other leading manufacturers globally – such as Hypertherm, to develop equipment solutions that deliver what Aussie fabricators are looking for.

More than just a CNC plasma

  • What materials can I cut?

    Plasma will cut any electrically-conductive materials, including steel, stainless-steel, aluminium and most metals. Our tables are used for a wide range of metal fab applications where versatility is critical, such as fabrication shops, manufacturing, automotive repair and restoration, training centres, and more.

  • How does a CNC plasma table work?

    In short, a plasma table is the main component in a CNC cutting system used for shaping flat sheets of steel or metal. To perform this task, a plasma table must be coupled with other machinery. The main components of a plasma-table system and their functions are as follows;

    1. Table: Supports the sheet or plate and may include features such as a water bed.

    2. Gantry: Mounted on the table; carries and moves the torch. Its position is driven by the controller along the X- and Y-axes.

    3. Plasma torch: Fixed to the gantry; performs the actual cut. Compressed air passes through the nozzle, an electric arc creates ionised gas (plasma), and the jet pierces the metal.

    4. Power source: Supplies current to the torch.

    5. Air compressor / air supply: Feeds pressurised air to the cutter and torch.

    6. Computer system: A PC and display that host the operating software.

    7. Software: Handles design (CAD), file preparation (CAM), and motion control (CNC). Drawings can also be imported from other machines or files.

  • What is a CNC plasma table used for?

    CNC Plasma tables are used in metal fabrication and manufacturing industries for cutting components from flat metal sheet or plate, including steel, stainless-steel, aluminium & other metals.

  • How accurate is CNC plasma?

    This depends on a few factors. First the design of the table; XT Series are accurate to within 0.2mm, thanks to the direct rack & pinion drive mechanism. Next is the accuracy of the plasma arc, which will vary depending on the quality and condition of the system, torch and consumable parts. We recommend allowing between 0.5-1.0mm for arc deviation, noting that worn consumables and poor air quality will result in higher deviation. One of the reasons we use Hypertherm is because they offer unmatched performance, accuracy and parts durability.

  • Should I consider CNC Laser, Waterjet or Oxy?

    Great question! Each system has their place. For general metalfab applications with materials of up between 1mm & 30mm thickness, CNC Plasma offers the best combination of affordability, fast cutting (productivity), low running costs and versatility.

Tried & Tested

Made in Australia

Our CNC Tables are designed, refined, and made right here in Australia using state-of-the-art Australian component manufacturers.

Other equipment including; the exceptional range of Hypertherm Powermax plasma cutters, are made in the USA (the world’s largest CNC market).

Reliable, Proven Products

Behind every SUREFIRE CNC product lies months and years of development, research, testing and perfecting..

Easy-to-use Software

User Friendly

A highly capable CNC system is well and good, but if it’s clunky and confusing to operate, it becomes a time-wasting liability instead of an asset. At SUREFIFRE CNC, ‘user-friendliness’ is equally important to us as product durability or capability. We know this is critical to you getting the outcome you paid for in the first place.

CNC Plasma Kit Operating Software

As a case in point, our plasma package operating interface has been customised to make it very self-explanatory and easy to follow. Or to quote one of our clients word for word; “it does everything you said it would, and the software is easy as to use”.

Reliable Plasma Cutter

Reliability and Performance, Second to None

Compared to hand cutting, CNC places much higher demands on the plasma machine – and that’s why choosing the right plasma power source is critical. Hypertherm, our partner for plasma cutting machines, have focused exclusively on Plasma technology for decades and as a result their machines out-perform every other plasma cutter on the market in cut quality, speed, reliability, parts life & efficiency. For reliable cutting day in and day out, nothing comes close, especially with the new SYNC™ technology!

CNC-Ready

The Hypertherm plasma cutters we supply are different from manual hand cutting models, and are specifically configured for use with our CNC machines.

Bonus Accessories

Water Bed & Bonus Fluid

SUREFIRE CNC XT series tables come standard with a water bed, for effective and low-cost fume control.
We also include high quality, anti-rust/bacteria fluid concentrate to keep your water bed in top condition from day 1.

Consumables Kit (& box)

A full kit of plasma consumables is supplied to get you cutting. These are supplied with a carry case to ensure your parts stay neat & tidy. To compliment this we also provide a Parts Guide with pictures and part numbers of each part to make re-ordering super easy.

Cut Settings Charts

We supply our own customised settings-chart that has a full list of recommended settings for various materials. This makes it real easy to get started.

Support

A Proper Operator Manual

Our packages come with a comprehensive manual – written by our in-house support team – that is clear, simple and very easy to follow… and covers everything from set-up, to operation, trouble-shooting, maintenance and more.

After Sales Support

Our experienced, in-house technicians are here to support you via phone or email. You can also access our Knowledge Base at any time, for help on common technical and IT questions.

Plasma Kits By Weldclass

We have a range of different plasma cutter machines that can handle different levels of thickness when cutting, we can help you select the machine in your package to make sure you get the one suitable for your needs.

Other components included in your kit will vary depending on what you need a plasma cutter for. Most kits will come with a cutting table, which can be used to cut components from flat metal sheet or plate. Tables are the main part of a CNC plasma system as they are required for cutting shapes from metal. We have a range of different tables and options, including the XT series, and when designing your package we’ll make sure you get the best table for your needs and price point.

To add value to your kit, you should consider including some optional extras. Some options available to you include:

  • Engraving attachment: Gives you precision to help engrave neat designs and markings onto metals and plastic, it’s easy to use, quick to set up, and powered by air. Includes mounting bracket
  • Refrigerated air dryer: We strongly encourage you to include this in your package as it’ll remove moisture from the compressed air system, which will improve cut quality and extend the life of torch consumable parts
  • Hand cutting torch: Makes converting from profile cutting to hand cutting with your plasma cutter very easy, and it costs a lot less than buying a second plasma cutting machine

So, if you’re wanting to take your metal fabrication to the next level without breaking the bank, contact us and we’ll help put together a CNC Plasma Package that meets all your metal cutting needs
