[DeTomaso] Plasma cutter

[Paul Memont]

Hi Mark,

I picked up an almost unused Hypertherm 30 on e-bay this past summer.  
It weighs about 20 lbs, will run up to 20 amps on 110 and 30 on 220.  It 
does need an air supply unlike some but it's a lot of power in a small 
package.  Lists for $1,300., on sale on their site fro $1,000 but you 
can do better .  I paid under $700.  Like Mike said, once you try one 
you will not want to be without it.

It will cut anything that conducts electricity faster and neater than I 
dreamed possible, freehand or using a straight-edge.
