Plasma cutter

The only problem I have is a lack of visibility of the cut but I guess it will get easier with experience.

I used to be a bit shaky free hand to start with :lol: . Cutting straight line on plate, just clamp a piece of angle on the line butt your torch up to the angle and whizz down the line. :good:

be careful if you're cutting over a concrete surface that you value (e.g. levelled floor in a workshop)...too close and you'll spall a few mm off the surface and leave a nice gouge. Easy to do if you're cutting farm style resting on the forks of a (tele)handler I always put a sacrificial plate of 2-3mm under the cut.

 

The drier the air the better your consumables will last. I've got a Hypertherm too and they are lovely!
