What this page is

buythis.co.za/plasma-standard-gantry-cutters is the standard gantry CNC plasma cutter section of Buythis, AM.CO.ZA's online shop (the shop menu also links it as Std Gantry Cutters). On the live page it is only a heading, a link to plasma videos and tiles to the other plasma sub-sections. This knowledge base page explains what a gantry CNC plasma cutter is and lists 20 MetalWise machines, tables, controllers and add-ons with current prices. For the whole plasma range see Plasma Cutters.

A gantry CNC plasma cutter is a fixed cutting machine: a gantry (bridge) carries the torch across the plate while it travels the length of the machine on racks and guide rails, controlled by a CNC control panel. The plate lies on a cutting table, and a water table under the grills catches slag, sparks and fumes. AM.CO.ZA's gantry machines are the MetalWise family. The MetalWise Lite machines below come with stepper motors, an arc voltage torch height controller (THC) and a flame torch, so they cut with plasma or with an oxy-fuel flame for thicker plate. The 2300x6000mm machine uses a dual-support gantry (supported on both sides) for its wider cutting area. A plasma power unit is bought separately (Plasma Cutting Systems). If you need a light machine you can carry to site, see Portable CNC Cutters.

Prices are current Buythis prices including VAT from the product dump dated 2026-10-20. Some prices come from older dump entries (2026-05-13, 2026-10-18, 2026-10-19); confirm those on the product page. Check the product page before ordering, since prices change.

How to choose

1. Sheet size. The 1500x3000mm machine matches standard 1500x3000mm sheet. The 2300x6000mm dual-support gantry takes larger plate or several sheets at once.
2. Table. P-1530P comes with a dry or water cutting table and P-2360P with a steel water cutting table; P-1530 and P-2360 are listed without those tables, so check the product page for what is included. A table can also be added later or made locally (see the videos below).
3. Plate thickness. Check the table limit (the 1500x3000mm table takes plate up to 35mm) and choose a power unit that cuts your thickness (Plasma Cutting Systems). For thick mild steel plate, the flame torch (oxy-fuel) is used instead of plasma.
4. Height control. An arc voltage THC keeps the torch at the right height as the plate warps; a mechanical floating THC rides on the plate instead.
5. Compressed air. Air plasma needs a supply of clean, dry compressed air (Air Pumps & Compressors).
6. Software. Cutting paths (NC code) are drawn and nested on a computer with Fabricam software (Fabricam); the tube module adds round tube and pipe cutting with a rotary.
