I got an EBay 50A plasma, the ad reckons they were cutting 14mm with it (yeah right I was thinking).

When it turned up, I had the thing going in about 10 mintues.

HF start which is cool
Drag tip as well, which makes it easier

As for 14mm, you 'might' get a severance cut on 10mm, but would take some cleaning up after.
6mm is a bit jagged, might just need more practice
3mm no problems
1mm - how fast can you mvoe the torch
