It's so much better than using a oxy-acetylene torch. Tried it out on 1/4 inch rusty frame section, and it cut just fine even with all the scale on the metal. I then cut up an old license plate so from heavy frame to sheet metal it does great.

It also has a connection to use the torch on a plasma water table to cut parts from plate using a lap top to guide the torch, probably not going to use that feature, but who knows...............

I have some frame modifications to do to my IH wrecker and am looking forward to use it to do the necessary fab work to relocate the panhard linkage from behind the rear axle to in front of it so the wheel lift has enough clearance to operate.

So far I really like the new toy. ................LOL
If you look at my first pic you'll notice a desiccant filter. You'll want to make sure the air going to it is as dry as possible. I bought my Plasma cutter off CL and it came with it.
