A. The plasma cutting machines are characteristically more costly than oxyacetylene, and also, oxyacetylene does not need access to electrical power or compressed air which may make it a more suitable method for some users. Oxyfuel can cut thicker section (>1 inch) of steel more speedily than plasma.
