"There's a fair knack to using it"........ One that I dont have unfortunately, on some cuts I get it right first time with an almost sawn edge finish and then on others its a mess. it seems that the start is critical ( at least for me ) get that right and its cool. Surface finish also seem...

They are a good bit of gear - and you don't have the gas bottle useage of the traditional oxy torch.

I've been pondering a purchase for some time but just havn't got around to it as usual.
And it good to be able to cut alloy/ stainless etc etc.

Just a small postscript.....

Had a look at two "LED" flasher cans today.

As all have stated, its a matter of real inconvienience for you and the other people on the trip. Given the nature of our obsession, things happen on the tracks and I believe the club has a remarkable record of trackside repairs - I can't recall a vehicle being left during my time in the club.

Ummm..... actually I'm out. Other trips / Other places.

I kneel before the font of all knowledge :mrgreen: I'm not certain how to take that cj!....... that's the risk of asking questions - you may get a detailed answer, backed by informaton and then of course you get opinons, rumors, urban legends and recomendations based on "I bought" so it m...

Important note..... HID's DO NOT like frequent starts. This makes them unsuitable for applications where they are turned on and off frequently - and thats high beam. They include a forced restart mechanism but the electrical stress placed on the lamp is significant so should be avoided for "nor...
