Re: Plazma cutter recommendations

I already admitted that I don't know about them. I guess I'm not the metal worker you guys are.

Filled with water and ice the mechanical one is next and that one fills up quick under continuous use and has an auto dump . The next two use those little blue beads all the lines are 1/2 inch .
I remember our conversation about the airlines and the setup you have.
That is a Great set Up

Yeah a Person could probably do this stuff with Oxy/Acet Setup up.
A plasma cutter is another Tool in the belt.
Do you need it?
Do you want it.?

I Have a Hf 7x14 saw. I cannot remember the last time i have used a Hack saw

No bashing involved just a tool hoarding Thing

In reality, though, a plasma cutter has some definite advantages, particularly if you work with metals other than steel.
I have designed a rack for my cutting and welding stuff.
I have added so much that I need to do a Kaisan on it.
That word means a Change
