What is Plasma?
Plasma - The fourth state of matter following solid, liquid, and gas. Plasma is an ionized
(electrified) form of gas. In plasma cutting, a gas such as Nitrogen is sent under
pressure through the torch where it begins to swirl and is forced out a small orifice
at which point it passes through an electric arc and the gas is ionized. The electricity
“excites” the electrons of the gas atoms. It results in a very quick, clean cut and imparts
little heat into the base metal. Plasma is one step down from a laser.
File Requirements
All computer files for the LTEC Gas and Plasma Cutting Machine must be in either
a .dxf or .cad file format.Our machine shop can convert some JPEG and Adobe
Photoshop files to .dxf for an additional charge. Files may be submitted via email to
machineshop@bobdeansupply.com or on a CD, floppy disk, or USB memory stick.

Our Welding Capabilities
The machine shop was founded in 1947 and is the oldest operating shop in Southwest
Florida. Bob Dean Supply has three TIG welding stations and six MIG welding stations
located in its 20,000 square foot shop. A mobile welding truck with Heli-Arc trailer is
also available for on location welding jobs and emergency repairs.
TIG Welding
TIG stands for Tungsten Inert Gas welding. Also called GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc
Welding) and Heliarc® which was Linde’s trade name for the TIG process when it
was introduced many years ago. The arc is started with a tungsten electrode shielded
by inert gas and filler rod is fed into the weld puddle separately. A slower process than
MIG, it produces a more precise weld and can be used at lower amperages for thinner
metal and can be used on exotic metals.
MIG Welding
Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is frequently referred to as MIG welding. MIG
welding is a commonly used high deposition rate welding process. Wire is
continuously fed from a spool. MIG welding is therefore referred to as a semiautomatic
welding process. The shielding gas forms the arc plasma, stabilizes the arc on the metal
being welded, shields the arc and molten weld pool, and allows smooth transfer of metal
from the weld wire to the molten weld pool. MIG Welding Benefits include all position
capability, higher deposition rates than SMAW, longer welds made without starts and
stops, and minimal post weld cleaning.

Waterjet Cutting
Waterjet In Any Industry
The versatility of the waterjet allows it to be used in nearly every industry. There
are many different materials that the waterjet can cut. Some of them have unique
characteristics that require special attention when cutting.

What is Waterjet Cutting?
Waterjet cutting is best described as
an accelerated erosion process that is
carefully controlled. For this reason,
waterjet can cut or erode through
virtually any material known, making
it one of the most versatile machines
available. The natural erosion
process involves no chemicals or
heat. Because of this, warping and
distortion typically associated with laser, plasma and oxy-fuel cutting is eliminated,
therefore minimizing the need for secondary processing.

Advantages of Waterjet Cutting
•Tolerances tighter than +/- 0.005” are achievable, especially in thinner materials
such as 1/8” stainless steel.

•Materials ranging from 10” stainless steel to 0.010” acrylics can be cut by waterjet,
making it a very versatile tool. Stacking of very thin materials to increase productivity is
possible. Kerf ranges from 0.020” to 0.050”.

•Taper and edge finish are directly related to cut speed. The greater the speed, the
more taper and the coarser the edge finish. As the waterjet slows down, taper can be
eliminated and the finish of about 120 achieved.
