You'll make up the $850 in maintenance, storage, and insurance costs in no time!

These projects are great learning practice in a multitude of ways.

If I come up with a few worthy designs, prefabbing components for inventory would speed up the process dramatically. Designing on the fly isn't fast considering the brain I'm working with. :sieg:

She hasn't bought the saw or the Mitler Bros 3 ton press and bead roller and die collection, Beverly shear, ring roller, BurrKing 12" disc sander and 2" belt sander, plasma table, slotted welding table, tungsten grinder, solvent tank, and a couple other items! :secret:

I don't really see the issue now that she's taken that 3rd full time job….

:lmao:

I give her major credit for being very supportive of the "hobby."

So.... I did not see a post of how well you liked the saw.

What do you think of it? :)

I picked up a Miller folding, slotted welding table with clamps -- very nice and is not in the way when in use. Miller has free shipping and a discount at the moment ($255). Not a bad deal.

Cheers,

I used to use my Femi 120 all the time, but it cuts slightly crooked. The bottom of the cut is about 1/16" closer to the vise than the top. So I've learned to lift the piece to cut a little on the blade side to compensate. So I rate the saw as "just ok", and I tend to use my bandsaw more and more.

What type and diameter of material did you see that runout on?

I notice it on tubing -- any kind. Material doesn't matter. Since I never cut solid material, I can't say if this is a tubing-only only issue. I've scoured the manual and contacted the vendor about this, but without luck. So I just clamp the material slightly uphill, and live with the problem.
