Re: Welding Newbie

No need for now. I'll watch the build closely and if you recommend that it's effective then I might build one too. It's really useful to have a bending tool.

If you need chop saw the Bosch has a good price. Lot cheaper than in hardware malls from Binondo.

Re: Welding Newbie

as much as i want to buy tools, but, i cant, you know naman my reason hehe

ill let you know if this project is worth recommending once finished and used. hoping bending is fun after finishing this bender 😀

i have a question regarding the Chop Saw, it uses high torque motor compared to compound miter saw right? if ever im going to buy Chop Saw, can i change the blade for wood use? what do you think? or i also need to buy Compound Miter Saw?

Re: Welding Newbie

Frankly speaking I have not researched nor tried it yet.

The chop saw I have has a 14" abrasive blade and rotates at a very high RPM.
