[AT] plasma cutter

[Gene Dotson]

    John;

    One trick I have learned when cutting rusty metal is to use my die 
grinder with a narrow wheel and grind a line where you want to cut. The 
flame will follow the mark perfectly and make a nice clean cut. May want to 
give this a try.

                        Gene
