The Cebora Prof 162 is a plasma cutter of transformer build rated at 160 A. Gas cools the torch, and the set comes with a plasma lead, an earth cable and a supply cable. This is a machine for cutting steel, aluminium and stainless steel in a workshop that cuts on a regular basis.
What this machine is for
A 160 A plasma belongs to the workshop cutters with a large current reserve. The plasma arc burns through the material and blows the molten metal out of the kerf, so you cut conductive materials without preheating, stainless steel and aluminium among them, which an oxygen torch will not touch. The current reserve helps on thicker sheet and when you cut long runs without breaks.
The transformer build means a simple machine without sensitive power modules. Such equipment takes grinding dust and mains voltage swings in the shop better, but it weighs its own and draws more current than an inverter of similar output. This is a solution for a metalwork shop, a structural workshop and a repair firm, where the machine stands in one place and works a few times a day.
A plasma of this power also suits gouging and cutting out holes and shapes from sheet in places a cutting table does not reach.

What to watch out for
The source description gives neither the supply voltage nor the compressed air requirements, so confirm both before you buy, because the quality of the cut and the wear of the nozzles depend on the output of the compressor. The lengths of the cables in the set are not given either, ask about them if the bay needs the reach. A transformer machine is heavy, for transport you need a trolley or two people.
Look at the torch and the consumable parts, that is the nozzle, the electrode and the shield, because they decide the width of the kerf. Damp and oil in the compressed air system shorten their life, so a filter and a dryer are a must here.
