Choosing a CNC plasma setup can feel like two decisions at once: which cutting power you need and whether you are buying a complete table or just the components to build one. The four items here span that range from a standalone torch height controller to a ready-to-run 2-by-2-foot CNC table. The right pick depends on what you already own and how much automation you want. A torch height controller alone costs $195, while a complete table and cutter package reaches $3,599.99. That spread means different shoppers need different answers.
Quick take
If you are starting from scratch with a controlled cutting area, the Eastwood Versa Cut 2x2 CNC Table bundles everything into one package. If you already have a CNC table and need an 80-amp cutter, the Everlast PowerPlasma 82i is the mid-priced standalone option. If you only need torch-height control, the Dani THC controller is the lowest-cost addition. The PowerEdge80 gives you a CNC-ready 80-amp machine with both handheld and machine torches.

Product notes
Plasma Cutter PowerEdge80, CNC Table Ready
At USD 2,990.00, the PowerEdge80 is a CNC-table-ready 80-amp machine with a 100% duty cycle. Included are an IPT80 torch, a PE85C machine torch, a PE85H handheld torch, remote control and cable, air regulator, hose, ground cable, and ten consumables. The mix of machine and handheld torches lets you switch between manual cutting and table use. The stated CNC readiness is built around GOFABCNC tables, so another table brand may require coordinating the correct CNC cable. The price sits above the standalone Everlast cutter, but the accessory bundle is more complete.
Dani THC Torch Height Controller
At USD 195.00, the Dani THC is the least expensive item here and it is not a plasma cutter. It continuously reads the arc voltage between the torch and the plate and adjusts the torch height up or down to keep that voltage consistent. That makes it a useful add-on for a CNC table that lacks automatic height control, and it needs a constant-current plasma power source plus a Z-axis to drive. The model is Dani THC7SUD and the stated origin is Bulgaria. If you are buying your first cutter or a full table, this controller alone will not cut metal; it only automates height adjustment on an existing setup.
NEW PowerPlasma 82i, 80 Amps, CNC Option, Plasma Cutter w/ IPT-80 Torch
At USD 1,269.00, the Everlast PowerPlasma 82i is the mid-priced option in this group. It is a new 80-amp plasma cutter with a CNC option, an IPT-80 torch, digital controlled circuitry, a digital air pressure gauge, and 1-phase power. Its stated country of origin is the United States. This fits well if you already own a CNC table and need a cutter to mount on it. The limitation is that no table, torch height controller, or CNC cable is part of the package, so those remain separate purchases. The Model identifier is PowerPlasma82i and the epid code is 16051561259.
Eastwood Versa Cut 2x2 CNC Table with CNC Cut 60 Machine Torch & Consumables Kit
At USD 3,599.99, the Eastwood Versa Cut 2x2 CNC Table is the highest-priced package here, and it bundles a 2x2-foot CNC table, a Versa-Cut 60 CNC plasma cutter, a machine torch, and an HD consumables kit. It is immediately a complete system for someone who wants a controlled cutting area without assembling separate components. The trade-off is its fixed 2x2 table size and its position at the top of the price range. If your workpieces exceed 2 feet in either dimension, the cutting envelope won't match; if you already have a table, you would be paying for one you don't need.
Final recommendation by use case
If you want the whole system and are fine with a 2x2 cutting area, the Eastwood package is the complete buy. If you already have a table, the Everlast gives you an 80-amp CNC-ready cutter without paying for a new table. If you only need automatic height control, the Dani THC controller is the lowest-cost answer. If you want both a handheld and machine torch on an 80-amp unit, the PowerEdge80 is the option with the full torch bundle.
