Re: Plasma cutter

I forgot to add that low dollar plasmas ( under $1200) don't gouge or lop very well. Cutting off the side of a frozen rusted nut or gouging off the top of frame rivets over heats the plasma machine. Torches are still better for those types of cutting. Plasma can harden the rivet head so you can't drill it later.
