Yes, David, I've had my 020 in between the rollers a couple of times , if you cut 95% of the way through the rollers do the rest. Always use the battering ram method first, but with revs on full, what the idea of have the revs low Dean

Article research - How much do you charge for a days work?
skyhuck replied to Rob D's topic in General chat
As I have said before, I feel every job has a value. When looking at work I try to work out what that value is, it is based to a large extent on what I think another firm would charge. If you just work out your costs and ad a wage, where is the incentive to become more skilled and efficient?? Using your method of business a top climber and a poor climber will be on the same money, is this fair. I know my day rate and profit is higher than many of my competitors, however on many jobs I am cheaper. When my dad worked on the building sites in the 60's the highest earner on the whole site was an Irish curb layer, he worked on peace rate and made more than the site forman. -
