May I ask, What did you think of the Plasma cutter as I am temped to buy one of those as well.[/quote]

The plasma is cheap and cheerful at best, you get what you pay for! It works well and cuts very clean up to 3-4mm but it's fussy about air pressure and speed. On thicker material it eats consumables like to would'nt believe, I now know why there sold in bumper packs. As for cutting up to 10mm I think thats abit out of it's reach. You can cut shapes that you could'nt do with a 4.5-5inch grinder but if your cutting straight lines in any thing over 5mm I'd still reach for the 9inch grinder as it's just easier.

Edit How ever after just two uses the sodding thing has packed up, switch it on it goes into 'safe mode' will not fire up at all.
