I purchased a Hyperterm Powermax30 plasma cutter. Works extremely well and very easy to use. I have a gas cutter and got rid of it shortly after getting this cutter. No where near the mess and concern for fire potential with plasma vrs gas. Definitely a must have tool in your shop. I was lucky to snag up a used one for a great deal. Get 110v/220v capability and you can cut up to 1/2" steel.
