So far for me it totals out to ~$10 per inch, not counting the cost of a
larger air compressor.
Doublecheck that figure, Jim. That works out to nearly $190 to cut
out a simple 6" circle of material. You'd go broke waiting for the
first customer at that price! Did you transpose the decimal one place
over?
It reflects how much I paid and how little I've used it, because the
compressor I had was inadequate.

Then it's about the same cost as my TIG welder... per inch of weld.
