Default Cutting stainless with a small plasma unit?

The Stainless is a vague term. Is it hard chrome stainless ?

304l cuts nicely. Others leave melted and sharp globs on the back
that are very very hard.

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.
