[AT] Plasma cutters

[Dave Ernst]

Cecil,
Don't know anything about the China ones, but watch out for the lead paint!
My thermal dynamics plasma cutter will cut 3/8 thick steel but is slow in 
doing so, and you mention old stuff. My experience with cutting is the 
cleaner the better. My plasma cutter does not like heavy rust but will do so 
leaving a real ugly cut. Torch is better on that stuff.
Just my opinion,
Dave
