la bala Posted August 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 First one was easy one, other than waiting for cutting edge, just a couple of cracks in ears to chase out and weld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diver One Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 They don't get them that often in store BUT may be available online. MUST be the one with the compressor built in. Takes standard consumables and he has happily cut 10mm with it possibly even 12mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 It was Lidl. I bought one, because it was right money and decent quality. Box still unopened after about 4 months. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
