When I bought my plasma cutter several years ago it was one of those tools I wanted and tought I would use when time to time but was not sure how much. I was evn hold by a few people don't waste your money you will never use it.

Oven the years I have found the opposite to be true. Sunday I was changing the lower ball joints out on my 2500 Dodge Diesel. There are massive rivets that had to be removed from the factory ball joints. I didn't want to use a torch for fear of damaging the control arm so I started grinding. After 15 minutes grinding down the first rivet I was thinking there has to be a better way and it hit me. I pulled out the trusty plasma and in 30 seconds a piece 95% of the head was gone. Couple minutes each with the grinder and they were ready to drill.

 

There is nothing better than to be able to reach into your tool box and use a tool that fits the job....Tedd

 

Note to self: Avoid owning Dodge Diesel trucks till plasma cutter bought. Nice to have the room and tools to do all that though.

 

I bought my plasma to blow the tops off of rusty shocks to get them out. I had put off new shocks for quite a while because they were too rusty to remove.

 

Good tip Richard.....my be time to get one.....I've always wanted one, but wasn't sure I would use it enough to justify cost!
