Thermacut is a plasma torch designed for cutting metal. The torch is part of a plasma cutting system that uses gas and electricity to create a flame of 20000 degrees Celsius, cutting steel up to 40 millimetres thick. The ergonomic handle allows several holding positions. The torch can be held with a closed palm around the handle or with the thumb resting on the top of the handle. A safety trigger prevents unintended operation. The main case is made of plastic by injection moulding, and further parts are made of copper, brass, steel, ceramic and rubber.
