You don't - they are expendable. The reason for curving them is that you are less likely to cut all the way along a slat as most cuts are straight lines. |

More layout cogitation this morning, aided by making 'Blue Peter' models of the items needed mounting just to make sure everything fits and can be 'got at' for wiring and later servicing. Can't go much further until an order for more DIN terminals arrives - hopefully tomorrow. |

Then I made and fitted a 'Plasma Perch' - just a shelf to put the Hypertherm 45 on so that it is out of all the muck and bullets on the floor. Simple job bent up from 1.2 mm Zintec and re-inforced by a pair of brackets left over from making the pig-sty's :ddb: Trouble was that there are very limited places it could go, and no easy way of stiffening it up without those heavy duty galvanised brackets, which actually double up as stops for the Hypertherm, preventing it walking backwards or forwards - happen stance - not planned :clap: I will need to put a 90 degree fitting on the air inlet, or the pipe will go though an unacceptable bend radius. |

What is Zintec ?[ Knit one, pearl one............ All the best, Matthew. |
| awemawson:
Zintec is electro-zinc plated steel Mathew. So essentially rust proof, but the zinc is nothing like as thick as on hot dipped galvanised. |
