K5457-1 - Lincoln Tomahawk 30 AIR Plasma Cutter with Built-in Compressor

Cut Anywhere, Anytime with the Tomahawk 30 AIR

Forget the grinder and leave the heavy air tanks behind. The Lincoln Tomahawk 30 AIR is your ultimate grab-and-go solution for cutting metal in the field. Designed for the welder who needs to move fast, this plasma cutter features a built-in air compressor, meaning you don't need to hunt for an air hose or drag a separate compressor to the job site. Whether you are working on a rooftop for HVAC installation, repairing agricultural equipment in a remote pasture, or doing custom fabrication in your garage, the Tomahawk 30 AIR is ready to cut in seconds. Just plug it into 208/230V power, attach the ground clamp, and pull the trigger.

This machine isn't just about portability; it's about performance and ease of use. If you've ever struggled to cut expanded metal or chain-link fence, you know how frustrating it is when the arc keeps extinguishing. The Tomahawk 30 AIR solves this with its Rapid Arc Restrike feature, which automatically and instantly relights the arc as you move across gaps, ensuring a smooth, continuous workflow. The included LC30 hand torch is ergonomically designed for comfort during long cuts and uses standard Lincoln consumables that are engineered for long life. Plus, if you happen to be in a shop with a main air line, you can easily switch the machine to external air mode to save wear on the internal compressor.

Durability is standard with Lincoln Electric. The unit is housed in a rugged case designed to withstand the bumps and bruises of transport, and it comes with a heavy-duty shoulder strap to make climbing ladders or navigating job sites easier. The front panel controls are simple and glove-friendly, featuring a purge control that lets you set your airflow without firing the arc—a great safety feature that also saves consumables. With the ability to cut up to 3/8-inch mild steel cleanly and sever up to 1/2-inch, the Tomahawk 30 AIR handles the vast majority of on-site cutting tasks with speed and precision. It’s the perfect addition to any service truck or mobile welding rig.
