Hi all,
I know this isn't strictly about welding but please bear with me. I'm looking to put a decent little hobby metalshop together with a friend of mine, and that's why I've been on here a lot in the last ten days or so. I think I know where I am with welders now, but what else will I need for general metalwork?
I was thinking of:
1. Mig welder with gas/mask/tips/liners/wire/gloves/overalls
2. Bench grinder
3. Angle grinder with various discs
4. Electric drill
5. Cheap pillar drill + bits (HSS?)
6. Steel cutting saw (like the look of the Evolution Rage 3)
7. Nice sturdy workbench with a big vice
I've got a lot of regular spanners, sockets and screwdrivers already.
Any thoughts? Am I missing something obvious?
Cheers,
Jimbob
