Why reinvent the wheel. You would still have to use a plasma torch that
is comercial built because you need a supply of contact tips as well as
other consumable parts. That being said a plasma cutter is kind of like
HF tig in the since that the HF is used to get the arc going. The hart
of the unit is a transformer that puts out 100 amps or less depending
upon how thick you want to cut. I think it is at around 600 Volts but I
may be wrong. This power is rectified and converted to DC and then
filtered via a RC time constant.
