Any pearls would be appreciated.

Hypertherm torch or bust. They are, hands down, the best torch and power supply maker out there. As for a table... we have a Nothern Plasma. It's decent, but I'd much perfer something with better driver software, like Torchmate (I personally have a torchmate CNC router).

Looks like 95 will have some sweet looking parts! Excited to see what you've come up with.

Thanks!
And yes, they're relatively inexpensive. To put it in perspective: 4'x4' CNC router of moderate quality was $7,500 new, ProtoTrak CNC knee mill was $23k new, 4'x8' plasma table with torch and power supply and computer was $25k new.
