Hello All;
It seems that this cost is right about where it should be. Once I "see" these, I'll have a better idea of how his work will be.
I'm pretty certain that I'll not have a chance to get out to the sized discs that others are having fun with.
After seeing the posts yesterday I decided to give it a try knowing that if they aren't what I can use or work with, then I can recover from the price.
I did a little more "talking" with him, and found out he charges by the minute, the bigger the piece or thicker or cleaner the edge the more it costs, seems fair. So I think this will be right about where others are at cost-wise.
He's a fellow boiled coffee drinker and remembers to old style water pumper 'mills. So I have his ear. He knows enough about batteries to be interested in using some of the small NiCds to be interested in getting some. Says he's needing to build a hot wire foam cutter, and these are perfect for high amperage use.
We're going to be doing a little horse trading I think :-).
Thanks Again for all the input. Pics to follow.
Keep Smiling;
