borrow plasma cutter for day NYC NYC

If you are going to borrow one or rent one, I suggest going with something beyond the capabilities of a 110 unit. Although a hell of alot quieter than a Sawzall, a low-powered unit will take a long time (especially if you are cutting up an entire car and cutting through rails and the sort) to get the job done. If it is just sheetmetal/skins, then a 110 unit would be fine.
