This Plasma Cutter Cuts Paint and Rust Without Clogging

Stop grinding rust before you cut! Here is the fastest way to slice through nasty scrap metal, bed frames, and thick steel with zero prep work. In this video, I see if a budget-friendly plasma cutter (Bestarc BTC550DP) can actually handle the dirty reality of homestead projects. Most people think you need clean metal to weld or cut, but this Pilot Arc feature claims it can blast through paint and rust without clogging. We put it to the test against 1/16", 1/8", and 1/4" steel, but the real challenge is a rusted-out bed frame. Can we skip the angle grinder completely?
