Is there such a thing? It seems even the "cheap ones" are ~$750. Right now, I'm leaning towards this one (http://www.harrisweldingsupplies.com/hyperthermpowermax30plasmacutterhandsystem088003.a spx). I don't anticipate a need to sever anything more than 1/2 inch, and I need to cut expanded metal.

Anyone know where I can find it cheaper or is there another one I should consider?

Thoughts?

Are you apposed to buying a used unit? Possibly a better price and a better performer.

Not opposed to buying used. This particular one says "Local pick-up only", and is in Colorado...

Sorry Dave, I didn't read that part of it. Too bad you didn't know someone there or couldn't talk them into shipping it. I have one like that and a Snap-on cutter and like them both. The Snap-on does a great job for what it is. Way over priced though.
