How much does the Lincoln Electric Tomahawk 2500 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 Tomahawk 2500 is listed as a plasma cutting system rated up to 400A, with a quality cut of up to 100 mm in mild steel and severance up to 130 mm. No model under this name appears in Lincoln Electric's current lineup, and the listed figures are few, so they should be treated as unconfirmed until matched to the documentation of a specific unit.
Two cutting modes are listed, conventional and precision. The usual trade is that a conventional mode favours speed and thickness while a precision mode favours edge squareness on thinner plate, but no figures are given for either. Stainless steel is listed at up to 60 mm for a quality cut. Positioning accuracy is given only as table-dependent, which indicates that this is the plasma system and that the gantry it is mounted on decides the motion performance. Anyone evaluating one should ask which table it is installed on, and take input power, gas and duty cycle data from the nameplate, since none of those are listed.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Up to 400A, with a mild steel quality cut listed up to 100 mm and severance up to 130 mm
- Stainless steel quality cut listed up to 60 mm
- Conventional and precision plasma modes are both listed
Limitations

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give up to 100 mm for a quality cut in mild steel and up to 130 mm for severance, at up to 400A. Stainless steel is listed up to 60 mm for a quality cut. No aluminium figure is given.
02
The listed positioning accuracy is table-dependent. In other words the figure belongs to the gantry and drives that carry the torch, not to the plasma system itself. Ask for the accuracy data of the specific table, and judge cut quality from sample parts.
