Switched from oxy-fuel to plasma cutting on a job last month in Gary

I used to swear by my old torch setup for everything, but after fighting with warped steel on a 3/4 inch plate for 6 hours in the rain, a buddy handed me his Hypertherm and I got the same cut in 15 minutes with zero cleanup - now I'm thinking I wasted too much time being stubborn, has anyone else made the jump and regretted the cost upfront?

Raining in Gary? That's just Tuesday there." Had a buddy who spent a whole weekend fighting his old setup on a 3/4 plate, finally borrowed a plasma unit and finished the job before lunch the next day.

Was it raining inside the shop or were you outside in Gary?
