What gauge copper are you using? If .025 or up to .032 then using a standard torch with a small welding tip will work. Turn the oxy of a bit so rich on oxy side. Will help blow away a little bit of the metled copper and give a rougher edge. If not then will have globby edge and balls of melted copper. If thicker than that may look at plasma cutter. Trouble is that the little plasma cutters that run on 110v and have air compresser can only cut up to 1/16 inch if go real slow. If looking to do alot then get a big plasma cutter for $2500.00 and will need good air compressor. Can adjust the amps for different thinckness with larger plasma cutter where cut the .025 to 1/8 copper.
