[TheForge] B1 Beverly Shear- 14g cutting

Mon Apr 14 17:47:01 2003

Hi:
I have owned all three, the "one" is good, if the blades are sharp and 
adjusted.
I think you would not be happy cutting 14 gage with the "one",  I would 
buy the two
for that task...
I have since sold the "one" and The "two", and kept the "three"..
I use the "three"  somewhat, but the plasma is what I grab for first.
