Use of Plasma Cutters in restoration

[Stuart Fedak]

I am just discovering the many uses of the latest generation of plasma cutters and their use in vehicle restoration. Besides the obvious uses in cutting out rusted and damaged areas. these devices are amazing at cutting out replacement panels, and speed up replacement panel creation.

One can also make various templates out of wood and aluminium and use these to manufacture all sorts of parts that can be used for welded projects.

I find that a Plasma Cutter, in combnation with a MIG welder opens up all sorts of potential for home garage restoration projects. For sheet metal use, these are far superior to oxy-acetylene cutters (at least in my hands).

What sort of restorations/projects have you been able to do with a Plasma Cutter?
