Sorry about the autocorrect "will", I meant well...

A circumstance where I need to plunge holes, for instance if I wanted to mount some tie downs on my trailer, I'm not going to be drilling holes for 3 hours, or using a hole saw. But when you bring out the torchs, it's very difficult to make a nice clean hole, I thought the plasma cutter would be more like a laser that I had in my minds eye

How about the Eastwood unit, for home use?

I'm still looking at used plasma cutters, what about the Snap-on YA2230? A Google search shows that it's a century, if that's good or bad. It's on wheels, and it just says it works, $600
