Blow Back  Low Frequency Start = less interference to electronics.
]Unfortunately, not all plasma cutters are suitable for hobbyist CNC tables. Plasma cutters that rely on a high frequency (HF) AC voltage to start the plasma stream radiate a significant amount of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Proper grounding and an industrial control are needed to avoid erratic behavior of the machine when using a HF plasma cutter.
Less noisy plasma cutters use a technology known as “blowback" or "moving" start, where a moveable, spring-loaded electrode and a DC spark start the plasma stream. Blowback start plasma cutters produce significantly less EMI and can be used around CNC microcontrollers and electronics that have not been engineered to withstand high levels of electrical noise.
