Plasma consumables
The electrode and nozzle in the torch wear with every arc and are the part you re-order most. Match them to your plasma cutter and amperage - the wrong nozzle bore ruins cut quality immediately.
Eastwood
Eastwood Versa-Cut 4x4 CNC Plasma Table - Specs, Score & Price
CNC plasmaProsumer$4,999.99
Cut capacity & amperage
The Eastwood Versa-Cut 4x4 CNC Plasma Table is configured with the Eastwood CNC Cut 40 (dual-voltage) at 40 amps. Amperage is the number that decides how thick a plate a plasma table cuts cleanly - roughly, more amps means thicker steel and a faster cut.
Cutting area
The table cuts a 1,219 × 1,219 mm sheet. Plasma is a large-format process, so cutting area is one of the two figures that most define the machine - a 4x8 ft table is a genuinely different tool from a 2x2 ft one, not just a bigger one.
What the score reflects - and what's missing
Eastwood does not publish torch height control, fume & spark management and build, so those components are excluded from the score rather than guessed. The number reflects only what we could verify. Cutting area and amperage are from the manufacturer's Amazon listing; torch height control, water table and frame are not stated there and are left unscored.

How we scored it
Plasma scoring model 2026.07-plasma-1. Each axis is scored 0-100 against an absolute reference and weighted below.
| Axis | Weight | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Cut capacity How thick a plate the machine cuts cleanly, scored from the amperage of the plasma cutter it is configured with against a reference ceiling. A bare table sold without a cutter leaves this unpublished. | 26 | 47 |
| Cutting area The sheet that fits on the table, on a logarithmic area scale. Plasma is a large-format process - a 4x8 ft table is a different tool from a 2x2 ft one - so cutting area is weighted near the top. | 24 | 69 |
| Torch height control Automatic torch height control keeps the arc the right distance from plate that warps as it heats, which is what separates a clean cut from a ragged one on real material. Automatic scores full, none scores a floor. | 18 | Not scored |
| Fume & spark management A water table or downdraft manages the sparks, slag and fume a plasma arc throws off. It is a safety and cleanliness feature as much as a cut-quality one. | 12 | Not scored |
| Build Frame and gantry rigidity - the structure that keeps the torch tracking straight over a large span. | 8 | Not scored |
| Value The weighted quality of the five axes above per dollar of manufacturer list or bundle price. | 12 | 12 |
Frequently asked
- What can the Eastwood Versa-Cut 4x4 CNC Plasma Table cut?
- It is configured with a 40 A plasma cutter, which sets how thick a plate it cuts cleanly - broadly, more amps means thicker steel. Plasma cuts electrically conductive metal (steel, stainless, aluminium); it does not cut wood, plastic or non-conductive material.
- Does the Eastwood Versa-Cut 4x4 CNC Plasma Table need anything else to run?
- Yes - a steady supply of clean, dry compressed air at the rated pressure, plasma consumables (electrode and nozzle) that wear with use, and fume and eye protection. Some tables are sold as the motion system alone and need a plasma cutter added; check whether yours is a bundle.
What you'll also need
A plasma table is not a finished setup out of the box. These are the parts a working, safe installation needs alongside the machine.
Clean, dry compressed air
Plasma needs a steady supply of dry air at the rated pressure. Moisture in the line pits the consumables and spatters the cut, so an air dryer or filter is not optional on a plasma table.
A grinder and deburring tools
Plasma leaves dross on the underside and a heat-affected edge. A grinder and a deburring tool are what turn a cut part into a finished one.
Eye and respiratory protection
A plasma arc is intensely bright and throws metal fume. Shade-rated eye protection and fume extraction or a respirator are basic safety kit, not accessories.
