Nice video; bought one some time back ,and it is portable with effort. I keep mine in my utility truck , it is a bit heavy and the mechanism hardware that opens the cover as it lowers on to the part to cut fell out over the years of transport and what not, but I was able to find replacement screws.

This saw is also extremely accurate compared to an abrasive saw.

You can even trim off the thickness of the blade and still be pretty squareon your materials. I'm happy with mine.

I've cut over a hundred cuts on boilers tubes with one blade, and also used it on a larger copper jobs just to see how it worked out, it cut fine but I think a different material wheel might be better for the copper tube. Matt Hayden

Thanks for the video, I got a chance to see it on the 26th, but haven't had a chance to comment, looks like I'm gonna have buy some steel , paper and give it a go.

Discouraged no way , Definitely gotta play with this sil bronze. We get what we put in, on this one we cut the part and slapped it together. It's all good. 👍

Yeah sure is. Definitely put some information in the pocket with this one.

Ok , to be honest after laying out the cardboard cad, I I thought this was gonna look sharp, then I started matching up the and and cutting things out, next thing I knew I was squeezing and tacking, beating and welding. lol , it really was a fun ,easy and affordable project to create . Learned a bit about fit up, chill blocks (used a 3x3 aluminum angle to weld all panels) filled gaps with silicone bronze., and best of all its was done with my daughter, she actually engineered the whole thing, gave me a sketch and we work together to build it.
Question
1) silicone bronze don’t work on dirty steel right?
2) what the quickest way to clean off the old peel on stainless steel, you know the protective cover.
3) does the sili bronze filller flow like mud, or was I completely doing it wrong

Hi Shaun, the slip roller was used to bend four 1/8 rods kinda semetrical, I wanted to make a cylinder for the tree insert, but decided to just use a piece of pipe. I posted the end result, but it seems like it did not post. I try to post shortly. Thank for the feed back, for future reference I want learn how to lay out exact cone shapes, and circles for burner refractory pours .( concrete forms)

I hope to stay in contact with you later.

Brad Goodman Matt Hayden you guys ever fabricated with a slip roller, if so can you share your experience.
Allso, working plate and sheet metal is so different, especially with out a sheer, if you wanted to cut multiple small shapes with accuracy, what method would you recommend.
I'm trying to make a hoilday tree topper star out of 18 Guage, and 6 " cut off wheel. Let just say I taught my daughter the Importance of making the part match the template.
Anyhow I hope I get to post it.
Happy holidays

Look for something lightweight , easy to find replacement clear lens, and dual use for grinding and welding.

I’d recommend the huntman 490p, for about 80 bucks, you probably already got your heart set for a fancy shiny hood. So stick to light weight.

Good luck.

Drilling through these Stainless Steel fittings was a breeze with this drill press. 5/16 drill thru 1/4 stainless steel compression fittings.
