When you're shopping for a CNC plasma table, these two Eastwood Versa Cut models force a practical decision early: do you want a square bed that arrives with everything needed to cut, or a long bed built for full sheets? Both are listed as new plasma cutters from Eastwood, but they serve different kinds of shop work. The 5x5 package leans toward a complete first setup, while the 4x8 model leans toward raw production capacity. Your parts, floor space, and current equipment will settle which one belongs on your buy list.
Quick Verdict
Pick the Versa Cut 5x5 with CNC Cut 60 for a complete, all-in-one cutting package that's ready to work as a complete system. Pick the Versa Cut 4X8 fabrication table when large-sheet production is the job and the cutting envelope matters more than bundled extras.

Where Each Wins
The 5x5 package wins on completeness: the cutter, torch, and consumables arrive together, and there's no external PC or software setup required - load a file and start cutting. That takes most of the assembly puzzle out of the equation for a shop that's adding CNC plasma to its lineup. The included rack-and-pinion drive keeps the gantry smooth and repeatable for detailed parts.
The 4x8 table wins on production flow. You can move directly from the steel supplier to the gantry without pre-cutting material, which changes the math for shops that burn through full sheets in volume. The integrated automatic torch height controller is designed to prevent crashes and keep cut height steady across the long bed.
Product Notes
Eastwood Versa Cut 5x5 CNC Plasma Table CNC Cut 60 - Machine Torch - Consumables
Listed at USD 6,199.99, this is the lower-priced of the pair, and it earns that position by combining the 5x5 table with the CNC Cut 60, a machine torch, and consumables - the components that make it an all-in-one package. The 60" x 60" cutting area covers mild steel, stainless, and aluminum from thin sheet up to heavier plate. You get rack-and-pinion drive in the same system, so the table is aimed at smooth, repeatable results rather than bare capacity. The tradeoff is reach: at 60 inches deep, a full 8-foot sheet won't fit in one pass, so panel-sized parts are the natural workload. MPN 98436.
Eastwood Versa Cut 4X8 CNC Plasma Metal Cutting Fabrication Table
At USD 7,199.99, the 4x8 model puts its budget into a 49" x 96" torch travel that carries a full sheet without indexing. That's the headline: you don't stop to reposition material when your parts run a standard sheet footprint. The integrated automatic torch height controller works to prevent crashes and keep cut consistency across the whole bed, and the table is sized for full sheets of steel, aluminum, and stainless. No cutter, torch, or consumables are named in the title - the focus is squarely on the cutting envelope. For a fabrication shop that already has a cut approach in mind, the large bed is the reason to step up. MPN 74089.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the Versa Cut 5x5 with CNC Cut 60 when you want a square work area and a cutting system that arrives as one coordinated package - the simplest path to a working CNC plasma station.
Choose the Versa Cut 4X8 fabrication table when your baseline is standard sheet stock and the large bed is the point - the extra travel is what you'll use every shift.
