A domestic ring main is rated for 30 A, so if you are happy to put a bigger 240V connector somewhere you can run my 25A cutter on your supply. On a 13 A plug ? Forget it.
You also need a good air supply too.
Very easy - the torch is guided down a convenient piece of angle, even around a wooden template !
Dunno. Not tried ally. Need a.) more practice and b.) the proper bloody cutter. A plasma cut will have a flare of between 5 and 10 degrees, but will be less than 1mm wide. And its very, very fast. Please forward 10 off 8' x 4' chequer plate for experimental purposes ;-)
I'd always fettle a cut edge by any process. A millenicut file will make short work of ally ( and your finger tips)
Around 450 quid inc VAT. Probably.
I'm looking for little projects to burn. They'll finance a nice AC TIG set.
