I am a marketing researcher for a plasma cutting equipment manufacturer and I have some industry related questions that I would like to have answered. We are always looking for ideas for new plasma cutting equipment, so whatever you can tell me about your business, I'm all ears! I am looking for your expertise! Please help!

Question 1: Do you use plasma for cutting metal in your yard? If not, what do you use instead? If you do use plasma, when do you use your plasma cutter (how often do you use it)?



Question 2: Is there a shift away from oxy fuel cutting and plasma cutting (torching in general) in scrap yards these days?

Questions 3: Would you purchase alligator shears over a plasma system (assuming they are the same price)? If so/if not, why?
