Seen this on HSM, looks like it would be easy to reproduce. And looks just real handy!

I seen that at HSM this morning too.   I notice they are doing aluminum, which cuts pretty easy.   WHY do I have the feeling that it would catch and come hit me in the head if used on steel?

That is a slick set up there. If you watch the entire video, he cuts titanium, cast iron, stainless steel and other metals. Does anybody know which alloy of aluminum he was cutting, no stringy chips so it must be hard.

I don’t know, but my first thought was magnesium.

Can’t be too hard, he still has hair on his arms.
