Research: Cutting Metal [steel] `I-Beams` and `Tubes` -> Dry Cut Chop Saw about home HOT 12 OPEN

Are you sure they don't charge us at source? Either way, yes, this makes sense.

As I said, the amount of time we'd spend waiting for a quote to get this done by someone else would cost us much more than this. Especially seeing as there's a huge labor shortage right now.

@iteles briefly discussed this at lunch with you. The price I mentioned at lunch is without VAT.
Amazon doesn't charge us the VAT at source so we would end up paying 412,40€ ...

Again, give the sheer number of cuts and the person who will be performing them,
I feel that this is a wise investment to ensure as much quality in the cuts as possible. 💭
Any objections to me placing this order?

Thanks. Glad we're on the same page. 📝
I'd obvs much rather not spend this money. 💰
But IMO: worst-case-scenario we can sell it after using it for a small loss. 💭

They definitely don't charge the VAT at source:

Order placed:

Also got a scribe for marking the metal for cuts so they are more precise than a sharpie. 😉
Should arrive by this Friday. ⏳

Suuuuuper annoyingly, the saw is on promotion today:

@iteles any objections to me ordering a second on and then returning the first one for a €60 discount? (is it worth it for our time...?)

from home.

Has the first even been marked as dispatched yet? It might be possible to still cancel the order because Amazon es takes a while to dispatch stuff.

from home.

Yes, dispatched:

Saving will be €70. Worth it for the hassle/time of returning? 💭

from home.

Return costs €5.50:

it's still a €58 saving.
I still think it's worth it. 💭

just annoys me that Amazon doesn't automatically apply the discount. wastes everyone's time.

Return of more exp (not discounted) chop saw was collected this morning:
