Wallace - one of my favourite YouTube videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrRUsXTXm_A), which I heartily commend, contains the eternal verity: 'A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't'.

Thanks! I've asked him. Peter

Thanks, gents. I hadn't realised Axminster sold them - though quite a lot pricier than in the US, including postage - they are doing a fathers day deal! And I agree about the sliding table - that is the whole point, isn't it.
