    Thumbs up Blast off!

    Slowly but surely, I've been doing those little things necessary to get my 200 P up and running. I don't have a lot of free time and I do what I can when I can. Today I got to fire up the plasma cutter on this multi function unit.

    It was like watching the space shuttle blast off!

    Most fun I've had in a long time. I was having so much fun I fired the cutter one too many times with the tip in contact with the metal - thank God for replacement tips.

    I'm sure people use these professionally but I bought mine to have fun and this thing is a blast!

    I agree the plasma is tons of fun. You're going to lay awake at night thinking of things you can cut out. Awesome to have that much power in your hands isn't it?

    Plasma cutting is fun. Just being able to freely cut weird shapes out of metal. I haven't really used the plasma cutter part of my combo unit accept for play.

    Plasma sure makes building brackets quicker than a saw.
