RE: LONGEVITY plasma cutter!
like watcha ya cuttin? we had one in the body shop it is a great tool. just dont need it that much to be honest. not really all that clean of a cut when done free hand. i can burn with a torch and make a nice line not better but you still have to work the edge to clean it up. thats my 2 cents. almost forgot the one we had was big $$$ and for me it was about speed and the blue tip wrench (torch) can be hot and cutting in a min.
