“The CT2050’s high-frequency start caught my attention first: the arc lit without hesitation and stayed steady enough to make a longer practice bead feel predictable.”

Built for Every Job
“There are more controls here than I expected from a combination machine. I could work through the pulse settings, hear the arc change, and fine-tune the response instead of accepting one preset.”
“I did not expect the built-in cutter to handle square tube this easily. The CT2050 cut through cleanly, and the edge was ready to use after I knocked off the loose dross.”
“Everything shows on a pipe-to-flange weld; with the CT2050, the puddle stayed visible around the curve, and the finished bead had the profile I was after.”

Is CT2050 Right for You
YES, it's for you if...
- You're looking for a high-value, all-in-one fabrication station.
- You demand professional-grade precision in both welding and cutting.
- You see tools as a high-ROI investment.
NOT IDEAL, if you need...
- You only do occasional light repairs.
- You require dedicated MIG welding capabilities.
- You only need a basic, entry-level machine.

Before you ask.
The CT2050 combines AC/DC TIG, AC/DC Pulse TIG, Stick welding, and plasma cutting in one 7-in-1 platform.
The CT2050 supports a wide 96-265V input range for flexible shop and field use.
No. The CT2050 has a built-in compressor, so it can start cutting without an external air compressor.
The CT2050 is rated for cutting thickness up to 1 inch / 25 mm under suitable conditions.
The non-touch pilot arc helps cut rough, painted, or rusted surfaces with less dross and without touching the electrode to the metal first.
Yes. The CT2050 supports CNC cutting applications.

5 out of 5 starsGreat Job
eceived the 2050 and have been using it non stop with no issues other than my own. Purchased the DP200 for stand alone MiG. Have not had the opportunity to set it up and try it out. I��m sure it will perform just as well as the CT2050

5 out of 5 starsAmazing customer service!!!
I had a small problem with my plasma cutter but Raymond the rep saved the day and made sure I was taken care of! Awesome!! Thanks Raymond. I also really like all their add on kits. It’s so nice to see everything in one place.

My standout moment for 2023 was that I left behind my 20+ year IT career to take a job as a CNC plasma table operator. I've only used my CT-2050 for a few small home projects yet, but it parlayed me into an interesting new career. ????? Pictured is our 12x40' table, which I've run a few days in the past month since I started, but I mostly run the smaller 12x20' table (no pic of it). I made these hooks to help with pulling the hot steel off the table and chipping slag. I have some other ideas for little projects to make my work easier, too.

4 out of 5 starsAir compressor could be better.
The internal air compressor could be greatly improved upon as well as the air regulator that comes with it. Other than that, the tig and stick welding is phenomenal

5 out of 5 starsJust got it setup need more time
Just setup the machine havent had enough time to get into it got the plasma torch setup got a 100percent argon tank regulator foot pedal just haven't had a need for the tig function yet and so used to the ds255 for the self shielded mig and stick havent played with it on those yet either pluses for the machine is definitely the onboard compressor ran the plasma cutter started with 1/2in mild steel at 25amps cut clean bumped it up too 45 and cut the 1/2in mild steel on edge 1in thick zipped thru it no big deal knocked off the dross and it was stupid clean now I want to get a bigger sheet of 1i…
