25.01.2022 PLASMA CUTTER A special thank you to the P&F committee for the allocation of funding to support the purchase of a plasma cutting machine and related components. We can't wait to see what creations come out of the Design and Technology area with this new addition! The machine has a plasma torch which is used to cut materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper and other conductive metals.
