I admit, I have a workshop tool addiction :-)

Played the "it's far safer!" And the "it's the cheapest I've seen it" cards with the Mrs and seems to have worked a treat!! Happy days! Happy choppin!!....no g![emoji57]

To be fair it is by far the cheapest I've seen it and it will be safer![emoji56]
£299 off Amazon. Then realised it was including vat. £80 cheaper than screwfix and fix!![emoji106]

It is sitting on the kitchen worktop.
I need one for my Mother's Sunday roasts.

I've been really really well behaved today. Been to a sale and managed to keep my hands in my pocket when they sold this

Edit. What you can't see to the left is a 3 phase 30mm plasma cutter that I didn't manage to show any restraint whatsoever

 

[Netherfield]

How much did the metal worker fetch?

£2K

 

[Netherfield]

That's why you kept your hand in your pocket then

 

[Dave W]

Yes. Tad dear for a luxury

 

[Netherfield]

True

Is it fitted with a steel cut of blade or is that one for wood

How much was the plasma?

 

[Dave W]

How much was the plasma?

£400. Impulse buy. No idea if it's cheap or not.
My tool adviser @Grassman assures me it's ok and is going halves on it. He just doesn't know it yet

A plasma to cut 30mm would set you back over £2k new so a good buy as long as you can still get parts for it.

It's an R-Tech 100hf. Spares shouldn't be an issue

@Dave W how thick a bit of steel would your press be able to bend ? Would it be feasible to get about a 15 degree bend in a 30 mm X 45 flat bar ?
