what kinda stuff can i do?!

I wonder whether a plasma cutter would provide any advantage over other cutting tools (ie. cut off wheel) in making a custom dash? Would teh cut be cleaner or more accurate? Whilst I have no experience with plasma cutters - but can imagine it would become an invaluable tool once you have one (eg. like a welder, never knew how much I needed one till I got one) - my thinking is that it wouldn't provide any real advantage, and perhaps be less accurate for an application such as this?

just a few thoughts.....

everything that i've read and seen has shown that the plasma cutter is very accurate and cuts through metal very quick and with ease. i didn't buy the cutter just to do the dash though, i also built it to build my workench, as stated above, and to cut out and repalce muiliple spots on my charger(under the vinyl top where it rusted through in multiple places). i know that all of this could be done with other tools.

but when my dad saw this plasma cutter on clearance, he just had to get it. the model that i'm getting is MSRP $2,400. most places sell it for around 1,800. i got a deal on it.
i guess we'll find out soon enough if it was worth it or not though.
