What tools do I need to work in metal?
I know that is a pretty broad question, so to be more specific. I am primarily a woodie at heart, love the stuff, but there are many times when 'it would be good to make that out of metal' thoughts arise. Hence I have been doing some research as to welders and it seems to me that the Lincoln 180C will be the right choice for the relatively light to medium stuff I want to make. Typically working with RHS up to 50mm and steel plate and angle max 6mm thick. Maybe some Aluminium down the track.
Now a welder is great but that ain't going to do the cutting and grinding.
Given that I have the makings of a good wood shop what extras do I need to cut and grind metal?
I would belost without forums like this.......
