Bob,
I bought a small plasma cutter off of Ebay and it works like a charm. I don't remember the seller (I will look for his name) but I spent $385 including shipping. All you need is a clean, non-oiled air supply and a 220v outlet. I added a dryer outlet in the garage and changed all the plugs over. I used it to make a plate to space my trans and it blazed right thru 3/16" sheet aluminum without hesitation and left a very clean cut w/ minimal sanding required. Have also used it on stainless steel and mild steel w/ excellent results. Great performance from a 19 lb. package. It looks quite a bit like this one:
