New Age Welder

I have written something about it here, but I don't really know how a plasma cutter works. I did a little research and found out that the cutter was invented during World War II, specifically in the 1960's. The engineers then figured out a powerful tool, more powerful than any commercial welder, which uses high-temperature to cut through metal. But the new tool works more like a saw, and not the ordinary welding machine. A plasma cutter can pass through metals with little or no resistance. The cutter is used to cut huge amounts of metal, therefore helping to produce more aircrafts and other machines during the 60's.
