Product Specifications
FAQ
How does the App work, and what can I control remotely?
Download the Arccaptain app from the App Store or Google Play, then power on the CUT55 MP and enable Bluetooth pairing from the settings menu. Once connected, you can adjust cutting amperage, set PA and PT delay times, switch between cutting modes (2T/4T, Rust Removal, Grid Cutting), and monitor real-time air pressure status — all from your phone without lifting your helmet. Compatible with iOS 12+ and Android 8.0+. Note: Bluetooth range is approximately 30 feet in open-air conditions.
Is it CNC table compatible?
No. The CUT55 MP does not have a machine torch port and is not compatible with CNC plasma tables. It is designed for hand-held cutting only. For CNC use, you would need a cutter with a machine torch interface and a CNC-compatible torch (typically a straight machine torch with a trigger relay connection). If CNC is a priority, please check our CNC-compatible models.
Can I use this on a standard 110V household outlet?
Yes. The CUT55 MP is dual voltage and includes a 240V-to-120V power adapter. On 110V it will run on a standard 20-amp outlet. However, cutting performance is reduced — maximum clean cut drops to about 3/8". For most home garage or light repair use this is adequate, but for production cutting of heavier steel, a 240V dryer or welder outlet will give you full 55A output and noticeably cleaner cuts.
What is Plasma Gouging, and when would I use it?
Plasma gouging uses a wider nozzle tip and a different angle to remove metal rather than cut through it — essentially carving a groove or channel. Common uses include removing old welds before re-welding, stripping rusted or damaged metal layers, and preparing joint edges (back-gouging). It's faster than angle grinding, produces less dust, and gives you more control over how much material you remove. To gouge, switch to the gouging mode on the LED display and use the appropriate gouging consumables (sold separately).
What do the PA and PT settings do?
PA (Pilot Arc Delay) controls how long the pilot arc stays active before the main cutting arc transfers to the workpiece. Adjustable from 2 to 10 seconds. Use a longer delay when cutting rusty, painted, or coated metal — it gives the arc time to burn through surface contamination before full cutting begins.
PT (Post-Arc Time) is the post-flow time: after you release the trigger, the machine continues blowing air to cool the torch nozzle and electrode. Setting PT to 1–3 seconds significantly extends consumable life and prevents tip burn-back.
What consumables does it use, and are they compatible with my other torches?
The CUT55 MP uses IPT60 torch consumables (electrodes, nozzles, swirl rings, and shields). These are not compatible with AG60 consumables used by the CUT55 Prolux and CUT55 Pro. Do not mix them. IPT60 consumables are more heat-resistant and durable than the IPT40 series.
What air compressor do I need to run the CUT55 MP?
The CUT55 MP requires a minimum of 60 PSI and at least 4–5 CFM of clean, dry air. We recommend a compressor rated at 90 PSI or higher with a tank of at least 20 gallons for sustained cutting. Oil-free compressors are preferred — if yours has an oil-lubricated pump, be sure to install the included air compressor filter to prevent oil mist from reaching the torch, which shortens consumable life significantly.
How thick can it cut on 110V vs. 240V?
On 240V: clean cut up to 18mm (11/16"), maximum severance up to 26mm (1"). On 110V: clean cut is reduced to approximately 10mm (3/8"), maximum severance around 14mm (9/16"). For shop work on steel thicker than 3/8", always use 240V for the best cut quality and to protect the machine from overheating.
What does "Non-HF" mean, and why does it matter?
HF (High Frequency) plasma cutters use a high-voltage spark to start the arc, which generates electromagnetic interference. This can disrupt computers, CNC controllers, vehicle ECUs, and solar inverters nearby. The CUT55 MP uses a Non-HF blow-back start instead — the electrode retracts with air pressure to initiate the arc, producing zero radio-frequency interference. If you're working in an auto shop, near CNC equipment, or anywhere sensitive electronics are present, Non-HF is the safer choice.
Multi-process plasma cutter that customers said "cuts beautifully" through various thicknesses. Praised for excellent value, compact size, and clean cuts on steel and aluminum. Performs best on 240V; struggles on 120V circuits. Some noted unclear instructions and torch lead sleeve is prone to heat damage. Customers impressed with performance vs. cost.
- Cuts really clean. Mesh cutting mode and rust removal works also. Arc gouge worth every penny.
- Removed the factory weld without damaging the metal beneath the hinge
- More than keeping with the other machines I paid more than three times the money.

I am impressed- I have used several different plasma cutter over the years- but never anything this cheap, or with these mode options. This was just delivered today, I unboxed it and thought I must have gotten the wrong model because it’s so small in size. The 55MP right out of the box had the air fitting on it, cutting in minutes. Scrap 3/8” first, right to 5/8”plate that cut really clean. Mesh cutting mode through expanded as advertised, rust removal works also. I did cut a little bit with the 120v adapter that’s included through 11g, it does work, but don’t expect to cut 3/8 material. 240v rips really good. Arc gouge works awesome- don’t save the money and skip that- arc gouge worth every penny.
Yes, it’s a budget machine- no I don’t expect it to last 20 years- but for a hobby/ weekend warrior- I don’t see a better budget option. I can’t speak for longevity or customer service- but a quick run down- it’s worth it. I will push it to its max 1” and update if I burn it up. Also- I had it as Amazon said in a couple of days of ordering.

Easy to use and install best thing on the market recommend it to shops to DIY and for the price and what it does perfect dont be afraid nd get your today

The CUT55MP is impressive, I was very surprised. First job I put it on was cutting welds. Someone had gobbed old grader blades on a dirt pan cutting edge support. Am having some issues with the replacement IPT60- 23 piece consumables but, customer service is working on getting it worked out.
M
Awesome machine for the money.
L
This thing is absolutely amazing I would definitely recommend it to anyone 💯
R
So far I’ve only used the gouging. Had to remove bent hinges off a pair of dump trailer doors. Butter!! Removed the factory weld without damaging the metal beneath the hinge
R
Is working great. Put it right into production. More than keeping with the other machines I paid more than three times the money. I wouldn’t expect a smaller machine could do that. Very happy with this result.
H
Plasma cutter cuts beautifully. The instructions are not very helpful and need a rewrite.
E
Ran the Plasma on 120V and really struggled to cut thin metal. Ended up setting a E31 code for undervoltage when it finally did run, which was done on a 20 Amp 120v circuit. Will only run on 240V and works fine. One would think the software would detect low voltage and alert the operator and not make the machine non-functional and lock out the 120V side.
J
Awsome machine for the money. It works way better then machines that are 8 times the money and is a 10th of the size and weight. The rust remover works amazing. Vary impressed for the money. And expendables/parts are vary well priced.
b
I own an auto repair shop and bought this plasma cutter to replace my old one , this thing cuts great so far
D
Its not real great working on 110v, but on 220v its a great machine!
E
Works great price is great exactly what we needed for our business.

This machine is amazing! The price is fantastic for the capabilities of this machine. Get one and don’t look back

This works great! Its very lightweight, smaller and lighter then I expected so when I opened it I wasn't sure about its quality. Well it did not disappoint. Its easy to put together and set up. It cuts very well too! The only thing I wish was different was I wish the ground and torch hose were longer.
C
I haven’t even got the plasma cutter yet. Because mine was stolen when delivered. But ArcCaptain is sending me a replacement. Awesome experience with customer service gets. 5 stars and I’m sure the cutter will be great!!
