[AT] Harbor Freight Plasma Cutters

[charlie hill]

Everyone I know that has a plasma cutter says it's the cost and availability 
of supplies and not the cost of the machine that matters.
Apparently some brands have more expensive supplies than others.

While we're on the subject of cutting metal, has anyone used a metal cutting 
skill saw?  A friend of mine has one.  It doesn't look like there is anyway 
it would cut steel plate but it will.  It's not blazing fast but it makes a 
nice clean cut.
