I have one like that and have used it to cut a rather complicated repair
plate from 1/2" steel. No curves but the 8" X 3" part with a couple
offsets came out fine. I just used a grinder for the finish curves. No
problem with the saw. Just don't expect too much from it. Thin metal
will encourage the blade to jump off the wheels.

cutting bar stock, angle iron, etc. Anyone have the model John linked
to and do they
like it? How good is it for fairly thick steel, like cutting a pattern
out of 1/4 inch
steel plate?
