WSS, i agree on what you said about balancing cost , size and space... 2 years ago when i was where Iclore is, researching plasma cutter etc, i went to look at a old 8'x16' (essab) or something like that...
The price was right at 10,000 for everything, I beleive it had a hy def plasma with it, down draft system... but it needed 3 phase power, and the size of the table would take up half my shop... i almost bought it thinking i could change this and that to make it work for me, but talking to another member here changed my mind.
Anyways at that period of time i read as much as i could on different equipment, the good and the bad and made my decision from that.
No disrespect Jim, i admire your work.
