Metal Cutting

For those that think this won't cut steel watch this [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFGBOyeyXa8[/ame]

especially right at the end, it doesn't look faked. I'm just now moving my shed and unfortunately making it a bit smaller to make room for our new house, I plan cut all of the purlins, roofing sheets and cladding sheets with the twin blade cutter, my 5in angle grinder will do an acceptable job on stuff like this however makes a lot of sparks and you go through a lot of metal cutting blades, looking forward to doing all of the cutting without changing blades.

@ engineeringtech-- only 120Vac, LOL we have 240V here. The worst shock I ever got when I was in the electronics industry, 20,000V arc straight into the tip of my finger, burnt a hole about 3/4" deep, that bloody hurt!!!! In winter the tip of my finger still goes numb after 30 years and I can't feel anything with it. Also had a hot soldering iron fall of the bench, first reaction??- catch it and grab tight , that hurt too.

I'll bet that "bloody" hurt! I get a kick out of how Brits and Aussies sprinkle the adjective, "bloody" through their conversations. Here in the states, we use "freaking", "frickin", or a less polite word. I think "bloody" is much more descriptive.

I have one and it has no problem at all cutting Unistrut. It also leaves a very nice finish. You do have to watch out for the flying chips though.

And don't forget "Friggin". I could go on with more acurate words to describe how burning a 3/4" hole must have felt but it would have to many explenatives!

Cheers,

Well I can assure you I didn't just use the word bloody at the time, I think I used soo many different expletives someone could have developed a new dictionary with it. LOL And a second editions for when I caught the hot soldering iron.

Getting a bit off topic, but if an aussie calls you an "old bastard", it can actually be a term of endearment. As in " how's it going, you old bastard"
