Yeah my buddy uses that as he cuts larger items; he’s got a 5’ x 10’ table so…
Until I get stainless steel work coming my way, I won’t buy tools I won’t need! But I definitely hear a lot of good things about that thing.

If you have the tool, the projects will come.
I’m pretty sure they made a movie about that.

Jimmy, you need a magnetic 12x12 plate to hold your butterfly while you burnish it. Boy, that didn’t sound good.Super Power Square CNC Magnetic Chuck 12×12” Machine Workholding Permanent Metal | eBay
This thing is fantastic. It is physically impossible to move a steel part when this thing is engaged.

The more you spend on tools, the less you have to spend in bars on loose women. That always works with my wife.

@ChelanJim you can tell your wife @Bigdaddy2166 said you have to have just one more tool.

I thought about that but it won’t work on stainless so well. 
You are so right…if not for buying tools, whiskey and cigars why would I want to work!
And, this place that I will be working is the same place that I buy my metal. Bonus!

I have a similar version from Eastwood on its way. I used something similar when I worked at a sheet metal fab shop if a part is too oddly shaped to fit in a Timesaver or if you don’t have space/budget for a Timesaver (which I have neither). I need to install a dryer for my air, that should aid in all things cutting and sounds like it might improve the stainless a little bit.

Had a little fun coloring some 12ga yesterday. Need some more practice to make it a little more uniform.
I have some odd pierce holes I need to sort out too.

This. 80-120 grit flap wheel, or surface conditioning discs, like these from benchmark are what I use to clean up my .120 stainless crosses after cutting. I cut at 0.020 torch height, 75 psi, and water as close to the work as I can get it (also why I’m upgrading to a deeper water table).
