Default Plasma Cutter: Cheap or Expensive?

I've been wanting a plasma cutter for a wile now. My buddys work let him barrow a really nice one for the week end. And that sealed the deal I need a plasma cutter.

Well I have a few choices wait even longer and spend 1200 on a used mid range plasma cutter or buy a cheap 300 unit from ebay and replace it when it breaks.


Its hard for me to spend that kind of money on a tool I might use once a month.
What do you guys think?

I say buy the cheap one and see how it works. If you don't like how it works just sell it and then save up for a better one.

This looks to be an okay deal I bet you could get him down a few hundred if you show up with cash. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/tls/2944230268.html

I love feeling dirty.

Plus the feeling when he agrees is even better.
