Bill - whatever you do, be sure to wear appropriate respiratory protection
and work in a well ventilated area. Lead is pretty nasty stuff. I have
never had occasion to use a plasma cutter on a sheat of lead, but it has a
pretty low melting temperature and you may have to work really fast. If
you cut it, take care that you don't wind up with a bunch of toxic dust
around. - Eric
