[Mini] Experience of plasma cutters?

[Frits Schouten]

I have.
Generally using a plasma cutter it's worth having a guide on the project 
to hold the cutter against.
It's not that easy to cut nice straight lines. clamp a ruler or so to 
the project.
I've, in the past, made templates for jobs that were repetitive like if 
you have multiple corners that are the same.
The templates I used were most of the time made out of a bit of 7mm plywood.

I hope this helps for a bit.
Cheers,
Frits.
