A. The 05685 cuts any electrically conductive material including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, and brass. It cannot cut non-conductive materials such as wood, plastic, or ceramics.
A. The 05685 requires a 230V / 16A supply. If you are unsure whether your supply is adequate, consult a qualified electrician before installation.
A. The 05685 has a duty cycle of 20°C: 40A @ 40%. Duty cycle is measured over a 10-minute period — a 60% duty cycle means 6 minutes of continuous welding followed by a 4-minute cool-down. Operating at lower amperages increases available run time.
A. The 05685 is supplied with the accessories needed to start welding — check the product listing for the complete included items. Additional consumables for the 05685 are available at PartsForMachines.com.
A. The 05685 is primarily designed for workshop use. Check the specification for weight and portability details.
A. Yes. The 05685 cuts aluminium along with mild steel, stainless steel, copper, and brass. Plasma cutting works on any electrically conductive material — non-conductive materials cannot be plasma cut.
A. The 05685 is covered by SIP's 2-Year Standard Silver Warranty, covering manufacturing defects under normal use conditions. Register the product with SIP at time of purchase to activate the warranty.
A. A clean bare-metal contact point is generally needed to start the plasma arc reliably. For painted or coated surfaces, cleaning the start point is recommended.
A. The 05685 cuts any electrically conductive material — mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, and brass — up to its rated maximum thickness. For best edge quality, cut at around 60–70% of maximum rated thickness. Thicker material can be severed but the edge will be rougher and may need grinding.
