Get one with the compressor built in, quieter than standard compressor.
I keep looking at those, I used a friends and that really was impressive.

Only used the Lincoln and the hypertherm. The Lincoln was great. No fault at all. The hypertherm just about gummed it’s way through a 6mm sheet.I keep looking at those, I used a friends and that really was impressive.

That's an interesting thought. When I've tried to use it to cut MDF / Chipboard I've had terrible trouble keeping a straight line - is it better through steel? I was in B&Q yesterday while waiting for my tyres to be fitted, but I completely forgot to look at whether they had any suitable jigsaw blades.Cut more vehicle bodywork out with a jigsaw over the years and its very precise once you have mastered the tools behavior, found B&D branded jigsaw blades the best for me and still using blades bought 25 years ago.
Thanksdepends on the thickness steel you are cutting, thin mateial 24 tpi and thicker 18
Where from?i got my evo 100.00 cheaper than that site mine cost me 245.00 with 3 yrs guarantee the latest design as well
12 square feet? That's not a workshop, that's a cupboard
hi mate ill find receipt out for you it will have the name where i purchased it fromWhere from?
I have a chinese Rexon 6 inch throat , 2 speed band saw with a tilting table capability from B&Q some ten or more years ago , I put a decent bi- metalic half inch industrial band on it at 16 tpi on it .. often cut 2 " alu & brass bar & rods and 1 & 1/2 " steel in straight line , Pipes & plastic to four inches , As well as all manner of woods & glued up plywoods up to six inches thick .There is no one hit solution for cutting steel which is why most of us on here keep a bit of an arsenal to do battle , as @gaz1 says a lidi/aldi bandsaw is a good start but again limited in capacity. Just noticed in your first post you also want to cut wood, a bandsaw would probably be your best option.
