I may make something. I know some of the imports sell a tig/plasma combo machine.
Seems to me I've got the expensive part, 180 amps ac/dc with high frequency start. That ought to cut 2"? ;^) Do I even need a solenoid valve? Who cares about wasting air at 40 psi? But a valve and a double pole switch to run it with the other poles turning on the Synchrowave. Or do you think the TIG built in gas system would work for the plasma? Just unhook the argon, hook up the air hose, and burn away?
I'll put it on my bucket list. Before or after the 10 hp steam engine?
