  1. Like others have said the best thing to do visa vie routing stainless steel is to forget it. We tried a few tests routing stainless and it was a messy, expensive and slow way of turning good sheet stock into cr@ppy metal parts. We ended up buying a water jet... when you see how quickly and cleanly these machines slice through stainless it becomes a no brainer to forget the whole idea of routing metal.
  2. Workers comp sounds like a nightmare... and an expensive one at that. In europe we don't need to pay for basic things like workers heathcare and sickness benefit because it's already covered by the state. I can't imagine having to pay 70 odd grand just to insure a dozen workers.... how on earth do you make a profit? I presume you pay a lot of tax to your government on top of Workers Comp so I'm curious to know exactly what services and benefits you get in return for handing over your taxes?!
  3. On the subject of autobenders; Does anyone know a source of good used machines or AFFORDABLE new systems? I am currently looking for a machine and exploring every option. As long as the machine works then I'm interested- location is irrelevant- I'll pay crating and shipping to the UK. Prices in US$ are very attractive at the moment given the strength of sterling so any machine is of interest. Cheers Andy
