Added a Plasma Cutter to the shop!

I own a body shop and have for a while and have had two snap on plasma cutters both YA240A types. the first I had was a great machine and cut rather well just not very thick stuff, barely would cut a Chevy truck frame. It was stolen then I replaced it with the same machine and it did last me a long time it just wasn't worth crap. It would hardly cut a fender much less the above mentioned truck frame, Quite a few of my teeth are gone and I still could chew through the frame quicker than that plasma cutter could cut it.
Then, I found one on E-Bay made by a little company out west called Avortec. It is a Plasma, Tig, and Stick welder, but I just use it for plasma use only. It will cut up to stuff 3/4 or so maybe a little thicker. It will cut sheet metal as fast as you can drag the torch and in the body shop that is mainly my gig. It came with a helmet that I still use that is adjustable from 9-13 and use it with my mig welder as well and love it. The plasma was about $800 maybe less. If your looking check them out. Jim
