    Here is a couple examples of how nice a cut you can get with a plasma.

    The 1st is directly after the cut, you can just see the dross on the back side. The second pic is of the same metal after tapping it on the fab table, the dross just drops right off.RI7gGOdjTsGCUh0CYd8zSh2XmlHqX-2CTJ7FNzhJ_d84cd2eafb3349742d74be0dfdfb4b9e1b75c9c1.jpg j17s3Mmp7n6jTRGuErTZxtOgkJcc46_HVn0L9Yl6_fd779176c0c8dbcf1ce091802fcee89466255b61.jpg

    Think I’m going to spring for the plasma cutter before considering a band saw. The chop saw seems to do good enough for now.

    I need the plasma cutter for some auto fab.
