    my neighbour is a chicken farmer...but I guess your assuming I live in suburbia.

    your still making assumptions Pat as to what I want, what I have and what I can afford so why dont you just quite while your ahead....

    I need to upgrade my compressor to at least 15CFm but even with my ****ty Supercrap compressor it cut the floor panels out of my Sierra (even through the double & reinforcing chanels), probably only 4mm max so far but will cut 10mm max.

    Oh I did have to wait a few times......

    depending on what you want to spend twitchy I have seen compressors around that do 30 and over for less than 2 grand.....

    they are probably not brands to shout about but they are out there....

    the one at work sucks back over 30cfm.

    the biggest 10A compressor IVe seen IRL is about 8CFM 15 Amps generally gets you into 13-14CFM.

    charge a big enough tank and you can do a decent cut but then your waiting on the tank to recharge. a small tank will make a smaller cut but charge up faster.

    you're likely to be looking at a decent 3 phase or engine driven compressor to run a plasma for big jobs.

    these are 3 phase

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Air-Compresso...item1c0f72a272

    I don't know the output pf these units but some of them look bloody beefy with the bottoms that can take forklifts

    http://www.graysonline.com/Search.aspx?q=air+compressor

    but I was thinking about a driven one.......

    I know 3 phase is expensive to put in does anyonew know a rough cost
