How much does the Lincoln Electric Spirit II cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc plasma cutting in this class — not a quote from Lincoln Electric. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Lincoln Electric Spirit II is listed as a bevel plasma cutting system: a 5-axis torch carriage with a bevel angle range of ±47.5 degrees, fed by a 30–400 A output from the Bevel II power supply. It is not in Lincoln Electric's current lineup, so anyone assessing a used installation should take the listed figures as a guide and verify them on the machine.
Bevel work is the reason to look at this system. The listed profiles are V-groove, Y-groove, X-groove, K-groove and compound bevel, which between them cover the usual weld preparations on plate. Cutting the prep on the plasma table removes a separate grinding or milling step before welding.
Thickness is listed at 60 mm for production cutting in mild steel and 80 mm at severance, with stainless steel at 50 mm production. The table does not say whether those figures apply to bevelled cuts. A tilted torch passes through more material than the plate is thick, so the plate that can be bevelled at full angle is thinner than 60 mm, and the cut charts of the actual unit should settle by how much. The gas system is automatic multi-gas, listed with O2, N2, air and shield, and an optimized hole-cutting process is listed for mild steel only.
Table sizes run from 5x20 ft to 14x60 ft, so this is a system for full plates and long nests, and the building, crane coverage and fume handling have to be sized to match. Control is listed as the Lincoln Electric Vision CNC, and the nesting packages named are ProNEST, SigmaNEST and Lincoln BevelCut software. Input power is 380–600 V, 3-ph, 50/60 Hz, with no single-phase option.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed bevel angle range is ±47.5 degrees on a 5-axis torch carriage. Listed profiles are V-groove, Y-groove, X-groove, K-groove and compound bevel. The usable angle on a given job also depends on plate thickness, because a tilted torch cuts through a longer path than the plate is thick.
02
The listed figures give 60 mm for production cutting in mild steel and 80 mm at severance. Stainless steel is listed at 50 mm for production. Separate capacities for bevelled cuts are not stated, so check the cut charts of the actual power supply before quoting thick bevel work.
03
From 5x20 ft to 14x60 ft. That range runs from a single long plate to a bed holding several plates end to end, so the size of the installed table matters as much as the plasma system when judging a used machine. Measure the working area on site.
04
The control is listed as the Lincoln Electric Vision CNC. Compatible nesting software is listed as ProNEST, SigmaNEST and Lincoln BevelCut software. For bevel parts, confirm that the nesting package and post-processor in use support the bevel profiles you need.
05
The listed input is 380–600 V, 3-ph, 50/60 Hz. Output is listed as 30–400 A from the Bevel II power supply. At the top of that range the electrical service is substantial, so have the supply and disconnect sized from the nameplate of the actual unit.
