Just got a chance to try a plasma cutter - WHAT AN AWSOME TOOL!!!!
Instead of blowing out another tip on my gas rig or tear up blades in my sawz-all, I thought I'd see if I could practice with the plasma cutter in the shop. Randy showed me on a couple cuts and then turned me lose. What a great ride. 7" cuts, 1/4 in plate - under 10 seconds! This thing just got bumped up on my Christmas list :?
'Course Fathers Day is coming up sooner :-| :mrgreen: :-| :?

Yah, a co-worker of mine bought one a while back.... I get to borrow it from time to time as I have projects where it is needed. All the benefits of using one without having to pony up the $$$. The decent entry level ones are $1500-2000.

Man what a tool. Did learn thou to cut a bit wider. The plates Randy cut came up short. Lesson learned, cut OUTSIDE the lines :shock:
And I agree, the miller 375 starts at $1500, but is dual voltage and gets to 5/8" with a clean cut.
Mudrat :shock:

So where the h3ll are you!!!! I called for some tech assist and was told you were "on the road".
Anybody, anybody??? Bueller, Bueller?? :t:
Tech assist = what angle do I need for the shackles on the front springs?? It looks like stock is 90 deg. the shackle reverse looks like a little aft (110-120?) ... so where do I go for an SOA WITH a shackle reverse - 90? 100? 110???
Right now with no load on the springs - I can do anything I need to. Whats proper??

Mud, I'd go in the 110 degree range so you can have a decent amount of droop. Oh, and don't forget when you order your front driveshaft to get a long spline version so you don't have to deal with your shaft seperating on you! SRS's have a bad tendency to do that to normal length shafts(plus factor in how much wheel travel you're gonna have with all that lift!!).
