The Hobart AirForce 250ci plasma cutter is powered by standard household current and comes ready to cut right out of the box - just pull the trigger. The built-in air compressor and lightweight inverter design make this plasma cutter the most convenient, totally portable cutting system available. Compared to the complexities of an oxy-fuel cutting torch system, plasma cutting is easy:

  • Cuts faster than oxy-fuel
  • More precise cut, thinner width of cut, less slag to clean up
  • Smaller heat-affected zone for less warping
  • No gas pressure settings or flame tuning needed
  • No pre-heating of metal prior to cutting
  • Provides gouging and piercing capabilities
The AirForce® 250ci is an option for home hobby, farming and auto body applications where clean, precise cutting is desired. Includes: Built-in piston-driven air compressor, HP-25 torch with 16.5 ft lead and consumables, 16-1/2 ft. heavy-duty work clamp and 7 ft. power cord with plug.
  • Cuts mild steel up to 1/4 in. thick using standard household current
  • New Inverter Design - Weighs only 27 lb.
  • Operates on 115 volt standard household current
  • Duty cycle - 35% at 12 amps with 110 V DC
  • Built-in Air Compressor - Internal piston-driven air compressor makes the system highly portable. No additional compressor to purchase or transport. Pressure is preset-ready to cut, right out of the box
  • Ergonomic Torch - HP-25 torch is designed for increased comfort, more efficient cooling and economical replacement cutting tips
  • Post-flow Air Cooling - Cools the torch and tip after cutting, extending life of replaceable tip and electrode
  • Fan-On-Demand™ - Runs only when needed reducing dust/debris pulled into unit
  • Diagnostic Lights - LED lights indicate system status for power, temperature, and torch readiness eliminating unnecessary downtime
  • Thermal Overload Protection - Built to withstand tough working environments. Rated for 35% duty cycle at 104° Fahrenheit. Duty cycle will increase as environmental temperature decreases

Not what I expected
Date:October 22, 2011
It didn't work up to my expectations. Maybe I was expecting too much. Cuts slowly, blows the breaker. Stopped working after 3 months. Tracter Supply was very helpful, and a great store. This is a Forney product. OK Hope this helps someone. Good Luck.

Excellent for Small Jobs
Date:July 25, 2011
The 250 CI works really good for applications up to 1/8, anything larger than that it will cut, but is a bit slow. I use it for autobody and it workks great in this application. Furthermore, being 110 offers unmatched portablity compared to the larger units.

Makes life so much easier!!!!
Date:May 31, 2011
I purchased this recently working on a trailer project it makes life so much easier. You do have to take it slow but it cut through 1/4 steel without any problems I have never used one before this one so I have nothing to compare it to but it worked on everything I needed to cut old bolts leaf springs and so on. Just bring it home plug it in and you can start cutting!!! It does everything it claims!! Thanks Again to the Zephryhills store staff for all the help!!!!
