Have you got a decent 240V supply to plug it into? it looks like that would take a lot of power to cut anything thick.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

bit of a update on bumper- made the sides decided on not going round the sides to meet the arches I see these bits are just for looks and my jimnys isn't to much of a looker and it cuts down on weight
finished with etch primer and gloss black could of done with high build primer for a better finish but its only going to get knocked about
ill mount it tomarrow fit the spots and hopfully be done and make a start on the rear
