I've been looking at various cutters and would appreciate guidance as to
the minimum cutter that would be suitable for building a steel sailboat of no more than 35' loa. I've little experience with plasma cutters and don't want to make the mistake of buying too little or too much :-) Additionally what features are essential for satisfactory use in the above named project ? Gratefully, Courtney |

I would have pieces precut as per design files by steel supplier. Lasercut
etc Too much work and not precise enough DIY. For some leftover and trim work a 50A even a 40A Cutter or less can do. Just watch duty cicle and allow for cooldown. Watch your coolingfan; don't accidentaly plug or obstruct it. Know from experience! "Brian D" wrote in message . .. ...but copy us on the answer. I was interested as well.
