    Surface plate resurfacing/reconditioning/certification event SW Ontario Region

    Not sure if the Montreal company is the same people, as we used when I worked in Peterborough or not.

    Shop New to me equipment coming.

    So in a couple hours the other night I cut 40 pieces of 1x4 mild steel. That was probably close to 10x what I could have cut with my 4x6. What a difference! Blade costs will be better too from what I’m seeing looking around online.

    Tips/Techniques Vertical up welds & Can a Toaster Oven be used as a 7018 Rod Oven?
