Here are my thoughts on that one. I have a very nice plasma and I still used the cut off wheels. I feel I have more control and if you use very thin wheels you will get alot less heat and that means less warpage. Also you will have a much better edge to work with for welding back up. I only use my plasma for rough fitting body parts then use the cut off wheel or snips for fine fitment.
