i already make very advancement on this diy plasma cutter, i recommend use an step down isolating transformer as precaution mode. instead use direct live ac source is dangerous, for the torch i recommend use a pilot arch connection plasma torch like the dsw60, you can find on ebay, im researching how keep an stable arch and ajust the current with simple circuit and components. thanks a lot to cheaphardwarez for the info on how this machine works!!

Did you try making a oxy-gasoline cutting torch? It looks simpler to make than a plasma cutter and it can cut 30cm steel many times faster than plasma without any problems.

I'm in the same situation, I would like to have the means to cut metal faster than using a hacksaw but I'm not ready to spend 1000$+ on a plasma cutter.

Thanks for posting!
