    Hi new to the group my first post of some accoya windows I've made. Any advice on best paint for spraying would be good.

    I would say they are similar, like emulsion paint for walls I’m surprised the Wagner wouldn’t cope with Teknos, it’s supposed to be ok for emulsion A friend has sprayed the paint ok with a graco ultra max cordless sprayer with decent results If it struggles you can thin it a bit. I always...

    Hi new to the group my first post of some accoya windows I've made. Any advice on best paint for spraying would be good.

    Saw for cutting 5mm mild steel?

    Depends what you want to spend, a plasma cutter will cut steel pretty well I suppose it depends how accurately you want and how big a sheet A thin cutting disc in an angle grinder will cut 5mm steel, but not curves
