Fun With the Plasma Cutter

[Bailey Guns]

I've never had one before. I bought a cheap one a few months ago and I've used it to cut a large tank apart for scrap pieces but that's about it.

Today, I took a cutout of a Corgi puppy (in case you can't tell) and transferred the outline to a piece of 16 ga steel. It's about 8"x10". I used the plasma cutter to cut out the outline. My technique isn't really smooth yet so a few mistakes but it was fun. I can see a lot of potential for this thing.

Before I saw the corgi reference, I was thinking..."Either those are some stubby antlers, or that's one wierd bear."

As soon as I read the corgi part: BAM!! Instant recognition..

Should have known it was a corgi, coming from you. Not too shabby for a trial run.

Also my first time using Imgur...thus the overly large picture (I figured out how to resize it). Newbs... Somebody can complain about it in the "things that bother me" thread.

Nice, which plasma cutter did you get?

Primeweld Cut50DP. Non-touch pilot arc. 50amp. Lot of features for a cheap Chinese machine. Just over $300 on Amazon. Seemed to have good reviews although I think all those machines are the same, just a different name and color scheme.
