Default Cutting stainless with a small plasma unit?

I'm past the point that I can chomp parts with a chop saw and grind/file
a smooth edge.

Some of these parts have interior curves that make that impossible to
any real degree. *Even with my foolish stubborn streak!

So?

Would someone recommend a small and relatively inexpensive plasma cutter
that can handle up to 1/8" stainless?

Preferably 110 VAC if that's possible.

Can't tell you a thing about plasma cutters, but in case that plan
goes awry, I think generally with a lot of stainless projects you can
move past trying to get a perfectly smooth/clean edge by just crimping
a metal, rubber or other material "ridge" over the rough edges. It's
cheaper than buying major tools that you might not need again and you
might really find something that adds to a quality look in your
finished project.
