DESCRIPTION

Forney’s TruCut™ is a compact 120V plasma cutter built for DIY, farm and ranch, maintenance, and light fabrication work. With inverter technology and up to 20A of output, it delivers clean cuts up to 1/4 in. and can sever up to 3/8 in. on mild steel. TruSet™ Plasma Control lets you choose between automatic and manual setup, while Drag Torch Technology and Pilot Arc help maintain a stable arc across rusty, painted, or expanded metal for smooth, consistent cutting. A built-in regulator and moisture separator maintain clean, consistent air to ensure cut quality and extend consumable life. Compact at just 17.3 lbs and paired with a 13 ft (4 m) torch lead, the TruCut™ is generator friendly, CSA certified, and equipped with a bright, easy-to-read digital display. Backed by a 3-year machine warranty, this plasma cutter is built for durability, reliability, and safe performance.

Key features & benefits:

Expert‑Tech® support gives you a direct line to Forney’s technical team for setup, troubleshooting, and parts, all from real welders based in Colorado, USA
20A max output with 1/4 in. clean cut and 3/8 in. sever rating provides enough cutting power so you can handle brackets, plate, and repairs on mild steel.
Blow back drag torch with Pilot Arc maintains a stable arc through rust, paint, and expanded metal so you can drag the tip directly on the workpiece for smoother, more controlled cuts
Bright LCD display makes amperage and settings easy to read in dim shops or bright daylight.
120V input and generator capability let you run from standard household power or a 4,000W generator (no low idle, 5% THD max) so you can cut where the work is.
Compact, lightweight design with handle and carry strap makes the TruCut™ easy to carry, organize cables, and hang the torch between cuts.
CSA certified to meet strict safety and performance standards ensuring reliability and your safety in any work environment

In real-world use, TruCut™ runs from a standard 120V outlet while still delivering up to 20A of output for clean cuts on 1/4 in. mild steel and severing up to 3/8 in. plate. The 35% duty cycle at 20 A provides practical arc-on time for repeated cuts on brackets, angle iron, and plate. Blow back drag torch design with Pilot Arc makes it easier to cut through paint, rust, and expanded metal, while the LCD display and simple controls keep setup straightforward. Paired with generator capability and compact size, the TruCut™ is well suited to shop, field, and maintenance work where portability and clean cuts matter.

Ideal for:

DIY automotive, fabrication, and light industrial maintenance work requiring clean cuts on mild steel up to 1/4 in. with occasional 3/8 in. severing.
Jobsite and mobile repair work using standard 120V circuits or a properly sized generator
Users who want TruSet™ guided plasma setup with manual control options as their skills grow
