Pick me up one of dem dar fancy plasma cutting things, dang! How on earth did we ever build anything without one! This thing is wicked cool! I'ved used one in school but just tinkering around with it. Having one in the shop, now that's a whole different story! Band saw? What's a band saw? Cutting WT5x11's and having to put bolt holes and slotted holes in them, cut to length. Four slotted holes, 2-4 5/8" holes, cut off 5" of the web on each end, place beam on stands, layout as per drawings, 25 minutes start to finish. I can imagine using a drill, band saw and punch press for these, it would take friggin' forever!
Signing off, loving my new Hypertherm!!
