Plasma Trade-In Program

A pile of old, worn-out plasma cutters with tangled torch leads on a shop floor

Trade in your old plasma cutter. Get up to $1,200 off a new EX-TRAFIRE®, or up to $1,400 in store credit.

Send us a photo of the serial plate on your old plasma cutter, any brand other than Thermacut®, and choose your reward. No shipping the old machine anywhere.

How it works

  1. Photograph the serial plate. Take a clear photo of the serial plate on your old plasma cutter. The make, model and serial number must be readable, like the example here.

  2. Email it to us. Send the photo to office@torchandtip.com with the subject "Plasma trade-in". Tell us which EX-TRAFIRE® system you want and whether you're choosing the discount or the store credit. Not sure which system you need or if it will work with your air compressor and input power? Include your power supply (voltage and phase) and your compressor's CFM rating, and we'll recommend one.
  3. Discount: we email you a one-time discount code by the next business day. Use it at checkout within 30 days.
    Store credit: order your system at the regular price. Your store credit is added to your TorchandTip.com account as soon as your payment goes through. You'll need a free TorchandTip.com account to receive store credit.
  4. Get cutting. Your new system ships free, anywhere in Canada.

Bonus: film it, get another $250

Once your new system is running, film your old plasma cutter meeting its end and send it to us. Every video gets $250 in store credit, good on anything in the store.

  • Up to 60 seconds. Show the machine whole and unplugged, then destroy it. Sledgehammer, excavator, tractor, or cutting it up with your new EX-TRAFIRE®, your call.
  • Email a link to your video to office@torchandtip.com with your order number. iCloud, Google Photos, Google Drive or WeTransfer all work. Make sure the link is set so anyone with it can view.
  • Regular phone video is perfect. Please don't use ProRes or RAW settings; those files are too large.

If you film it: before you swing

  • Unplug the machine and let it sit for at least 15 minutes before you start. Power supplies can hold a charge after they're switched off.
  • Cutting it up with plasma? Strip off the plastic covers and pull the circuit boards first, and cut steel only. Burning plastic and boards gives off toxic fumes.
  • No fire, no explosives, no firearms.
  • Wear eye protection and keep bystanders back.
  • When you're done, take what's left to an electronics recycler.

The fine print

  • Open to residents of Canada who have reached the age of majority in their province or territory.
  • The trade-in must be a plasma cutter from another brand. Thermacut® and EX-TRAFIRE® units don't qualify. Each serial number can be traded in once.
  • One trade-in per new system purchased. Choose the discount or the store credit, not both. Not available on orders that use another discount code. Demo units and packages are not included.
  • Discount codes work once, on one new EX-TRAFIRE® system of the model you chose, and expire 30 days after they're issued.
  • Store credit is added once your system order is paid. If you return the system, unused store credit is removed and any credit already spent is deducted from your refund.
  • The $250 video credit is for trade-in customers. Your video must reach us within 30 days of your new system's delivery, one video per trade-in.
  • Discount codes and store credit have no cash value.
  • If you film the destruction of your old machine, you do it at your own risk. TorchandTip.com is not responsible for any injury or damage that happens while you make your video.
  • By sending us a video, you confirm you own the machine and the video, and you give TorchandTip.com a permanent, royalty-free right to use, edit and share it, including the people and voices in it, on our website, social media and advertising.
  • We may ask for a clearer photo, and we may decline a trade-in or video that doesn't follow these rules.
