then you can run your plasma cutter while your spraying the car and drying your hair:D
Lou, if your only going to be doing rust repair it might be better and a lot cheaper to do a course in panel beating!!:angel::angel::wasntme:
PLEASE BE ADVISED EVERYONE READING THIS THREAD THAT I HAVE NO INTENTION ON DOING RUST REPAIR JUST SO THERE IS NO CONFUSION.......
and I'm hoping crump was just pulling my leg :D....:eek::D
Don't make me write a poem about you crump:p
A plasma cutter is an excellent piece of workshop equipment if you do a lot of fabrication or scrap metal cutting - much cheaper than an Oxy set to run. As mentioned earlier, do your homework with the air supply and also be aware that tips don't last forever - we change ours regularly, but use the plasma heaps - see what they are worth - price and availability.
We have a small 15 amp Lincoln which cuts to about 10mm - easily cuts up Land Rover chassis and have used this to death. It is excellent for stainless steel. For serious work we use a Lincoln Invertec PC 65 - but then guess who used to work at Lincoln. Tips for the PC65 are about $9 per pair

AIR COMPRESSOR -11 HP DIESEL-42 CFM - 150Lt TANK (NEW) - eBay, Machinery, Construction, Business, Industrial. (end time 22-Jan-10 08:20:38 AEDST)
We have a compressor very similar to that Honda powered unit at work Lou,but 100l tank.
VERY FAST recovery rate compared to electric.That reasonably priced too.
Bit noisy to work next too,nothing a longer hose wont fix.
