DEEP TEARDOWN: Parkside PPSK 40 plasma cutter with compressor 

Today we are taking a look at a brand new Parkside Professional tool available from Lidl, the PPSK 40 A1 plasma cutter (Plasmaschneider) with integrated compressor, priced at €199. This allows you to use the tool anywhere there is power, without the need of shop air and hoses! Basically you can cut steel 12mm thick with just a power plug, cool! The internal design looks quite good, they are using an IGBT switched full bridge forward converter which is a very robust design to run 40A max cutting output. The compressor is a 2 cylinder type, made mostly of plastic and aluminum, so maybe not the most sturdy, but for this application perfectly fine.
All in all a decent new tool. Check out the user manual here:
