Oops, sounds like I've started something here :lol: :lol: Bernd I was thinking the same, use a plasma cutter instead of the flame cutter :thumbup: Like the man says in the video, it beats using an hacksaw :dremel: Rob :thumbup: |

In Australia you can't buy the gas bottles (for oxy and acetylene) only rent them. That's OK for a tradesman who uses it every day, but as a hobbyist I can't justify the regular cost. So I use a hacksaw. :( |

Plasma cutter, and they are cheap now uses electricty and compressed air only, so no bottles to rent etc. Plus is they will basically cut anything that's conductive up to a point. Edge smoothness is better than flame cutting as well. John S |

Sounds like a plan Rob :ddb: I found the video's when looking for a easy way to cut circles with my plasma cutter. I have tried to do it freehand and ended up with a couple of jagged oval pieces of steel, I struggle to draw them with a pencil on paper :lol:. :lol: plus, i'm a lazy git :ddb: Rob (slowcoach) :thumbup: Hacksaws are sooo last century :poke: |
