Maybe have a look here and see what their recommendations are? http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/forums/plasma-cutters.34/

Be careful on eBay - a friend of mine bought one from there and it came with a 13A plug containing a piece of steel bar as a fuse...

Just how much are you going to use it? It's been more than a year since I plugged mine in, and I've done a fair amount of metalwork since then.
Unless you already have a good welder, angle grinders, clamps and all the other bits and pieces, you could spend £400 much more usefully.

That's not really the point. Its a case of what else the job is holding up. Which is far, far more important.

Not the most helpful post either Nick, given the question.

Perfect for a 4 pot estate conversion, I'd say. :y If that doesn't go well, we'll turn it into a barbecue.  :D
