Default Chassis plates

Buy yourself a top of the line Bosch jig saw.Use only the Bosch blades, learn how to set it. I use say speed 2 out of 5.The blades are about $3 NZ dollars.I have tried the same Bosch blades on 2 other "named brands"same settings,not as good.My Bosch saw was purchased in 1996,so good is it that I immediately sold my old oxy/acetelene set and purchased a new oxy/propane set(LPG) that I have a BBQ bottle for that I own,no more acetelene to rent or buy.These saws will,with sharp blades easily cut 6mm plate,3mm easy,6 mm is the recommended limit.I have cut 4 metres of 10 mm plate at a time with mine but DONT recommend it,I rested it between cuts to stop it burning out.I own 2 of the jigsaws,no more crude gas cutting for me.No way will you ever earn money unless you are a brain surgeon or politition,to replace your time,plus of course you can do it in your spare time.As I keep saying on my post's,be a builder not an assembler and gain some real world skills,any one can assemble a car out of ready made parts but think of the satisfaction of learning and doing it yourself,plus of course it will be much easier on your home life if you are married with kids!!David
