(Can't find the angle-grinder forum... ;-)The rig is 50cm x 50 cm d 50 cm (2" x 2" x 2") with 2 fixed wheels and 2 turning wheels (don't know the translation to english)The  top os 3mm thick steel wich i attached to the frame with butwelds?Instill need to manage all the cables underneeth...As i just saw on the picture one of the plugwelds came loose...Anyone of you have comments on how to get a better penetration?
Reply:That is one compact metal shop!  All you need now is a mini lathe and a miniature heat treating oven!  I saw one such oven at the New England Model Engineering Society show in Woburn MA a few short years ago.  The presenter offered no plans but I took down a list of parts then subsequently misplaced the list - MondoMember, AWSLincoln ProMIG 140Lincoln AC TombstoneCraftsman Lathe 12 x 24 c1935Atlas MFC Horizontal MillCraftsman Commercial Lathe 12 x 36 c1970- - - I'll just keep on keepin' on.
Reply:Guess I don't have a real good pic of mine.  But if it makes you feel any better mine (atleast to me is kinda junk, not saying it's going to fall apart, just what I had at the time, and it works for now.)  Eventually I will build a much better one that I can add the plasma to, probably along with the grinder etc... for now still works, I barely move it anyway.

Reply:I have gotten it a bit more organized, whenever I get around to making some shelves it will help.
