Oxford Cutmaker 351LE 240V Plasma Cutter

The British made Oxford CUTMAKER models leverage our highly acclaimed Oxford Hybrid technology, seamlessly integrating older transformer technology with the most advanced aspects of inverter technology. This innovative fusion delivers unparalleled cutting performance, maximizing efficiency with minimal input power. The tangible advantages are evident when examining our performance specifications—you'll observe that our machines outperform and outdo all others currently available in the market.

Crucially, these machines, featuring a copper transformer rather than an inverter, eliminate concerns about reliability and lifespan. Inverter-based machines often encounter reliability issues; the inexpensive imports frequently succumb within a few months, and even high-quality inverters from the EU or US lack longevity, with repair costs reaching such extremes that scrapping becomes a viable option.

The hallmark of our technology lies in the unique hybrid chopper design. The internal construction is refreshingly simple, housing only one PCB. These machines remain impervious to adverse conditions, thriving in damp or harsh environments such as dusty workshops. They endure knocks, drops, and unstable input voltages without a hitch. Remarkably, even a 75% overvoltage for a few seconds poses no threat—they tolerate such fluctuations with ease.

This machine can be used on lower input supplies with reduced cutting capacity, 16A to 60% cut power, 13A plug to around 50% cut power

• Exceptional cut quality is achieved with impeccably clean, straight edges on all materials, ranging from the thinnest sheets to maximum capacity.
• Effortlessly cutting through both clean and dirty, as well as rusty materials, our machinery excels across a spectrum of metals including steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, Hardox, aluminum, brass, copper, and more.
• The thermal gouging function empowers operators to efficiently remove material, making it ideal for tasks such as eliminating welds, fastenings, edge plates, brackets, and more.
• The thermal arc heating function enables operators to apply direct thermal arc heating, mimicking the effects of using gas bottles but utilizing only air and electricity.
• The metal marking function is available for both handheld use and cutting tables, allowing you to mark your logo, fold points, date codes, and other essential information.
• The 1001 & 1303 models can also be utilized with Nitrogen instead of air, ensuring optimal results when working with stainless steels.
• The 1001 & 1303 models are equipped with a digital ammeter to precisely display the output power.
• The 351, 551, and 701/3 models now feature an accurate dial to display the power setting in amps.
• The energy-efficient design, boasting 90%+ efficiency, ensures that you receive more cutting power for the lowest input power.
• Class-leading air consumption, up to 50% lower than the competition, translates to the need for only a small compressor and ensures the lowest possible fumes.
• The bulletproof design ensures that this machine remains unaffected by varying input power or an unstable generator.
• All models utilize 6M torches with long-life, low-cost consumables.
• Now rated to IP23S protection, allowing for use in your workshop or even outdoors in light rain.
• Built-in air filter designed to trap moisture and particles, complemented by a regulator and pressure gauge for easy air setting.
• NON HF design ensures these are safe for use on vehicles and around IT-based equipment.
• Easy-fit CNC interface kit now available, providing an upgrade for cutting table use, and more.
• All CUTMAKERS are constructed with over 95% metal and minimal plastics, ensuring a robust build that is both durable and environmentally friendly.
• Built in Great Britain! Built to last! Compliant with BS EN60974-1, BS EN60974-10, BS EN60974-7, RoHS, WEEE, and CE marked.

2023 model updates to comply with GOV & EU ECODESIGN regulations. All new models finish LE (low energy), offering increased efficiency compared to earlier versions while maintaining the same outstanding performance. If you're seeking a quality plasma cutter that will continue to excel even after 20+ years, our machines are worth exploring.

CUTMAKER 351LE-701/703LE models are equipped with our S65 torch—a compact torch featuring a flexible coaxial cable that provides high burn-through resistance. Its small size makes it ideal for accessing tight spaces. The torch comes standard with long-reach drag consumables, allowing you to maintain contact with the metal for easy use and facilitating the following of straight edges and templates.

These long-reach torch consumables provide superb access to places that most torches cannot reach. If needed, short consumables are also available. The torch parts are cost-effective compared to other quality machines on the market, with only three wear parts: the electrode, tip, and copper drag nozzle.

The S65 torch is fitted directly into the machine as standard, or a quick connection central adaptor can be specified at the time of order. The quick connection is particularly useful for torch swapping, such as transitioning from a manual hand torch to a CNC torch for your cutting table. Torch lengths are 6 meters standard for both manual and straight automatic versions, with longer torches and torch extension cables available upon request.
