It is very important that the cutting nozel is clean, especialy the centre Oxy hole.

When you have marked the part to be cut out, it will help if you use a centre punch to mark the lines ( Every 10mm or so & closer on the curved parts )

Once you get the knack of cutting a reasonable line, it does not take long to fettle the part with a flap disc
Cheers Bonzo...(thats what i call my wee lad !!) will post some pics if i get it done over the next few days..

Hi, they look fine but there was someone on here the other day that said he was a bit unreliable and needed chasing for parts

He does however have 100% postive feedback on Ebay, so maybe it is just a temporary thing? I have no idea.

I guess my point was more to the idea that if you have some free 3 mm plate, use it for the easy to cut pieces (rectangular) and buy the complicated critical ones. 15ukp seems reasonable tho.

Hey, how come everything is listed in Pounds, aren't you guys using Euros?
