They seem to be 300ish for a cheap end plasma, just wondered if theyre worth going for.
Compressor no prob, but dont wanna buy a nail just cos it was cheap.

Re the ali spacers, they are part of the body lift spacers, there are another 8 under there somewhere.

re Plasma cutter, i recieved it FOC !!!, but it needed a bit of TLC to get it going. Its only a Sealey PP40 good for cutting upto 12mm plate.
You can now get them with a build in compressor for around £500, for a 1/2 decent one anyway..

I ran mine from my on board air system on the Disco, just to see if it would do it.
I felt like Darth Vader............
