Cordless are good and newer ones well capable of lasting as well but for a workshop tool where power is available corded are often handier due to being lighter and smaller (and a lot cheaper).looks a decent tool Giles

You can get the metabo with whatever trigger you prefer.try the 831 ... so much more comfortable to use and a 'proper' switch/trigger -- not a fan of the 'sliders' and a fat ol' body for long use ... decent stuff though ... have never burnt out an 831

as I said a while back ... bought an Aldi 40v, 5" and have to say am thoroughly impressed with it .. battery life is far in excess of expectations and it's a great little weapon with a 1mm disc in it .... grinds OK too, but as a cutting tool it's excellent ... on the bench it's corded every time for anything HD, but have to say the little battery one comes out for the odd cut here and there regularly nowCordless are good and newer ones well capable of lasting as well but for a workshop tool where power is available corded are often handier due to being lighter and smaller (and a lot cheaper).
as I've said before ... Bosch never stuck the pace on the bench - ever - for me, - 6 months was the limit - the 831 Dewalts proved themselves to be seriously reliable, and stood the pace, time after time .. only time we killed one was if it got in the way of summat heavy or an FLT wheel/fork and nothing'd stand thatYou can get the metabo with whatever trigger you prefer.
I’d say metabo and bosh are both ahead of dewalt in my experience.
Should have employed some better welders, then.but needs to be borne in mind that grinders in the Druids workshop took some hammer, in use all day, every day, morning 'til night .... was some proving ground for grinders
when it needs fettling to an invisible finish it has to be ground Bri and if it needs vee-ingShould have employed some better welders, then.
what sort of current Bri ... that's a very tidy down runPush-me-pull-you bar made for a one-off job moving a shovel with no engine. not allowed to damage the paint.

I doubt this will interest anyone but Gra, downhill weld with 3.2 6013’s, just to see if I could. Bohler Phoenix BlauView attachment 37191
140 amps, and shifting. You’ll know this from experience, get slag in the first run and it’s a pig to get rid of. Wouldn’t pass x-ray.what sort of current Bri ... that's a very tidy down run
how do you steer the shovel ?? ..... that's a very expensive bar
You’re exactly right, sod all penetration - unless it’s done with 6010 or 6011’s, like many thousands of miles of pipelines.I always considered a down run of weld as a ‘wash’ weld with very little penetration looks neat though

Is that bare unit or include a battery£1575 + V.A.T.

I thought it was a bs 180 model seen as the wuffle fulffle valve is in metric.It would be awfully easy to get tempted by one of those new fangled battery powered welders. BritArc claim their BA 150 will deposit forty one 3.2mm rods on a charge
Definitely the BS model.I thought it was a bs 180 model seen as the wuffle fulffle valve is in metric.
