a friend of mine just bought one off of the tool truck for 800.00 its a small one and im sure you can buy it for less some where else. good for sheet metal, but nothing else. burn up a lot of tips. i rather have a cutting torch for my use.

You might check out Daytona Mig in Daytona, Fl. Several years ago I bought a 110volt Plasma Cutter from them. They are usually at all the NSRA events, at least in the south.

We just bought a Miller.....what a toy! Everything in the shop has holes cut in it now..... we have cut 3/16 steel with excellent results as well as sheet metal. I think it was on sale at about $1K.

Tip: the cut is much smoother if you build a template to use as a guide.....akin to a router template

You might be thinking about a Henrob welder which will cut like a plasma cutter. Very small unit. I saw it demonstrated at the Street Rod Nationals--quite impressive what it can do with a skilled operator.
