CNC Plasma Cutting Tables

CNC Plasma Tables for Custom Fabrication & Metal Shops

Every part you send out for cutting costs you twice — once on the vendor’s invoice and again in the week you spend waiting on it. An Arclight CNC plasma table puts that work back on your floor: quote a job in the morning, cut the blanks by lunch, and have the weldment tacked up before an outside vendor would have returned your call.

Arclight tables run in two-man weld shops and fifteen-person production fab shops across the country, cutting everything from sheet gauge to heavy plate. Professional tables from $13,995 to $172,995, with every price published — no mystery quotes, no games.

On the table

What Fab Shops Cut on an Arclight

If it starts as flat steel, it comes off the table. These are the parts fab shops run on Arclight tables every day:

  • Brackets and gussets — the everyday parts that eat vendor lead time. Cut a full nest in minutes.
  • Base plates and structural flanges — accurate bolt holes and clean perimeters, ready for weld.
  • Weldment blanks — nest every component of an assembly on one sheet and kit the whole job at once.
  • Equipment guards and covers — cut, bend, done, from gauge material to plate.
  • Stair stringers and railing panels — long structural parts and decorative infill off the same machine.
  • Repair patch plates — trace the profile, draw it, and cut it while the customer’s equipment sits in the bay.

Add the rotary tube cutter attachment and the same table cuts and copes tube and pipe for handrails, frames, and trailer work.

ROI and uptime

Why Fab Shops Choose Arclight

Fab shops buy on ROI and uptime, and that’s where Arclight earns the sale. Shops that bring cutting in-house stop paying vendor markup, stop quoting around two-week lead times, and start taking jobs they used to pass on. Established shops commonly pay a table off inside the first year — and that’s margin you keep on every job you already do, before counting the work you win because you can finally quote it.

Uptime is a support question, and Arclight treats it that way: a US-based support team you can get on the phone, same-day parts shipping, and a 3-year motion warranty. When a table earns its keep every day, the company behind it matters as much as the machine.

Worth knowing: tables arrive 98% assembled, most shops are cutting shortly after delivery, and a $500 deposit reserves your build slot.

Made on an Arclight

Fab Shops Run Arclight

Don’t take our word for it — look at who’s running one. MT Fabrication, Dunn Manufacturing, Treasure Valley Manufacturing, S4 Metal Works, StateLine Welding, and Kervin Brothers Ornamental Iron all cut on Arclight tables in working fab shops, turning out brackets, weldments, and structural work on real deadlines. Arclight is a common sight in custom fabrication because the machines hold up and the backup is there: lifetime US-based support, same-day parts, and a real person on the phone. Your table keeps cutting, and so does your schedule.

Lifetime backup

Support That Never Clocks Out

Every Arclight table comes with lifetime US-based support — and it follows the table, not the invoice, so even a secondhand Arclight gets full support. Parts ship same-day. The motion system carries a 3-year warranty, and a 30-day guarantee backs the whole machine. You’re not buying a table and a goodbye; you’re buying a cutting department with a support team behind it.

Straight answers

Custom Fabrication Plasma Table FAQ

For most small fab shops, yes. Shops that outsource cutting pay vendor markup plus one-to-two-week lead times on every job. Bringing cutting in-house with a CNC plasma table eliminates both, and established shops commonly pay off a professional table within the first year through saved subcontract costs and faster job turnaround.

A 4×8 table handles a full sheet of steel and covers most fab shop work. Choose a 5×10 if you regularly buy 5×10 plate, nest large structural parts, or want room to grow — the upgrade cost is small compared to re-handling work that doesn’t fit. Arclight builds both sizes.

Cut capacity depends on the plasma power source, not the table. Entry professional systems cut up to roughly one-inch mild steel, while the MAXPRO200-powered Arc Max Unlimited and Hypertherm XPR-powered Arc Max X HD handle heavy plate well beyond that. Match the power source to the thickness you cut daily, not your occasional maximum.

Plasma wins on cost per cut and versatility for typical fab-shop steel, from gauge to heavy plate. Fiber laser earns its premium on thin material at high volume; waterjet suits exotic materials and zero-heat work. For a job shop cutting mostly mild steel brackets, plate, and weldments, CNC plasma delivers the fastest payback.

Professional CNC plasma tables from Arclight Dynamics run from $13,995 for the Arc Pro Ultra V3 to $172,995 for the Arc Max X HD with a Hypertherm XPR300. Most fab shops land between $23,000 and $40,000 with a power source. Arclight publishes every price on its site — no mystery quotes.

Every Arclight table ships ready to cut with control software included — ARCCNC on the Arc Pro Ultra V3, and integrated FlashCut CAD/CAM for design, nesting, and cutting on the Arc Pro Elite V3. Whatever your table runs, Arclight’s US-based support team trains you on it and supports it for life.

Requirements depend on the plasma power source. Many entry and mid-range professional units run on single-phase 240V shop power, while high-amperage industrial sources require three-phase. Every system needs clean, dry compressed air at the CFM your cutter specifies. Arclight reviews your shop’s power and air before you buy, so nothing surprises you at install.

Yes — that’s how most small shops run it. Load a sheet, start the program, and the table cuts unattended with DTHC managing torch height while the operator welds or fits nearby. Nested jobs run longest between sheet changes, so one fabricator can keep the table and a weld bay productive simultaneously.
