can do template cutting you might want to rough out your shapes with a
plasma cutter, then use a bench mounted power nibbler to finish the job.
Just keep in mind..that like a torch..a plasma cutter leaves a Heat
Affected Zone in the area of the cut. It might be smaller than that of
the torch..but it IS indeed there. Sometimes its better to cut a fair
amount larger..and then use the Beverly to cut inside of that HAZ area.
Else you are trying to cut heat treated material

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
