I'm being tight and have access to an engineering workshop. 

Wish I had the access to a shop like that. Oh, and the Welding Skills.

No she doesn’t flex much but it’s a tad weighty if you are moving it by hand. Tows well though. 

I have the opposite problem, to get it the whole mill and Trailer under 750kg I feel my Trailer is a tad light and a bit flimsy. But I can man-handle it quite easily.  Ive not had it on the road yet but should do next week when I have a couple of jobs lined up. 

 

The main thing for me is its all plated up and built in Germany (should keep @Big J happy.  )

Im honestly impressed with the build quality, I'm a machine tool maintenance engineer. This isn't an expensive machine ( in regards to machine tools) for what you get the designer and build are very good. My only criticism is with the powder coat, I have flaked some already.

 

how fast you can cut with these is quite surprising.

He is another great chap to deal with, super fast delivery also.
