i just did i huge 50 square house and outbuildings all saddles etc with a pair of malco turbosheers.. the held up i was kinda expecting them to break..for cutting next to battons they are fine but definatly not like using a slate cutter or stake...but good for radius and like old school said you can cut from the front... | ||

One of the guys here used a power cutter for a job he had. Thousands of slates to trim. It was on a stand and you moved the slate into the cutters instead of moving the cutter into the slate. It worked nicely. | ||

I have seen the turbo shears and cut one slate with them a couple of years ago. The nice thing about them is that you can mark the top of the slate and cut to the line as they shear from beneath and leave the proper bevel on the top. | ||

Where now starting to see some good power tools here in Scotland for working with slate like turboshears and magizine fixers for hook fixing slate was wondering if anyone has come across nailers/nail finders for nailing slate would be really intrested in this as it would be a great tool to have would save alot of labour |
