AHP ALPHA CUT 60 FEATURES
The cutting machine has both a 220V and a 110V powering option. So, making the switch from one voltage setting to another simply requires you to flip a button.
The AHP AlphaCut 60 also features a Continuous Pilot Arc feature for cutting expanded, rusted, and painted metals.
Additionally, users can expect a 60% duty cycle while Alpha Cut 60’s current is at 60 amps.
The cutting power of this tool is quite impressive for a product in its price range. The AHP AlphaCut 60 can cut through thick metal with considerable ease, something you would expect of much pricier alternatives.
Replacement parts are easy to come by with this product. So, using an AHP plasma cutter on a regular basis will not be a pain as is often the case with some market alternatives.

In addition to having a commendable amount of cutting power, the cutter also provides clean cuts.
Because of this blowback start and a pilot arch feature, it is very easy to get this machine going. For the same reason, maintaining an arc while you cut is pretty easy. The dual voltage power supply option makes the AlphaCut 60 more versatile.
Also, this does not lock out any users who might have a 110V power source and not a 220V power source and vice versa
Even while having what is clearly a good quality product, in some instances, the company’s customer support leaves something to be desired.
