[Shop-talk] Plasma cutter, the trigger is pulled.

[eric at megageek.com]

OK, after reading everything I could online about plasma cutters, talking 
to about 5 guys 'in the biz' about them, and sleeping on it, I finally 
pulled the trigger on what I think is the best unit.

Here is what I went with...

Besides hating the color, everything else is a win. (Price, size, 
fexiblity, capacity, reveiws.)

I was worried about ordering the consumables, but the website has a great 
package of them for next to nothing.

Once I find out if this works well, I'll just buy a ton of them and don't 
worry if the company goes away.  That way, I should have years of use and 
if I can't get more in a decade or so, I'll buy a laser gun or whatever 
technology they have then.

I'm not buying the "cuts 3/4" and severes 1" " rating on their website, 
but I think it should be good enough for 1/2"  FWIW, it was one of the 
only ones that I could find all positive reveiws about (there is one 
negative one, but it sound like either his unit is bad or he is bad.)

I'll post my findings when I get it if anyone is interested.
