K2808-1 - Lincoln Tomahawk 1000 60A Plasma Cutter System

Industrial-Grade Plasma Cutting Versatility

The Lincoln Electric Tomahawk 1000 Plasma Cutter (K2808-1) represents a significant leap in portable cutting technology, engineered to bridge the gap between shop fabrication and field construction. At its core lies Lincoln's proprietary PowerConnect Technology, a sophisticated input power management system that automatically senses and adjusts to any voltage between 200V and 600V, whether single-phase or three-phase, and 50 or 60 Hz. This eliminates the need for manual rewiring or input switching, ensuring the machine is ready to work immediately upon connection to the available power source. The cutting output remains strictly regulated and constant throughout this entire input voltage range, providing consistent arc characteristics regardless of power fluctuations.

Designed for heavy-duty applications, the Tomahawk 1000 delivers a rated output of 60 Amps at 50% duty cycle, capable of severing mild steel up to 1-1/4 inches thick and performing production-quality cuts on 1-inch material. The system utilizes the LC65 Hand Torch, which features an optimized nozzle and electrode design to facilitate cool operation and extended consumable life. The Touch Start System initiates the plasma arc using a reliable mechanical retraction method, eliminating the need for High Frequency (HF) start which can interfere with sensitive electronics and CNC equipment nearby.

Operational efficiency is further enhanced by the Continuous Output Control, allowing operators to fine-tune the arc focus for different material thicknesses, from thin gauge sheet metal to heavy plate. The front panel includes a dedicated Purge Control, enabling precise setting of the air flow rate (recommended 275 SCFH at 87-109 PSI) without initiating the arc, preserving safety and gas. The rugged metal case is built to withstand harsh industrial environments, while the internal water separator protects the torch and consumables from moisture contamination, a critical factor in maintaining cut quality and consumable longevity.
