Iski,
You might want to go into member galleries next time you post photos. In that way new photos will be in your folder and easier to find. It isn't required but it does help keep things organized. It will create a folder for you when you upload the first photo when in member gallery section.

Dan, thanks. Fifteen years ago, I knew all about computers, but today I'm just guessing what to do when it comes to software and the web.

This is a great thread with some great tips. I'm really looking forward to getting my Plasma Cutter in a couple months so I can start in.

Will, which plasma cutter did you decide on. I have done most of my cutting with a 25Amp machine, and was very pleased. I'm looking at a 60Amp machine not that I need it but because it is half the cost of my old 25Amp machine.

ISKI, I have pretty much decided to go with the LP-60D. More machine than I anticipate I'll need too, but they always say to over-buy. I may do the LS-200P Multi-Process though. It's an option because I'd like to get a TIG next year but I'm not sure yet, just depends on how much extra coin I have come November.

My answer is one of those 69 cent yardsticks from HD. Two small clamps on each end.

when i had my old bluepoint plasma with the drag torch i used refrigerator magnets... i also used white nylon strips, this worked great, was slick so the torch slid easy and was far enough away from the work that it didint melt and the material is very light to handle..
