About that but we buy 20kg ingots and when we weigh them most are closer to 25kg. It’s worth the extra as there is a lot less slag/ trash and you don’t waste a kilo or more on crap you can’t use

Yeah I used to melt alot more lead in my full time baito days - finding ingots at the scrap yard was like finding the holy grail

I bet. We’ve been getting the lead from the same guy for few years now so we get a few cents cheaper then the rest which helps

Finally found a stash of free 16mm rebar.

7cm = 110g
so
1cm = 15.719g

and my ryobi one 18v cordless angle grinder slices through it like hard cheese (not quite like butter) (probably 15 seconds a cut)

But in the angler grinders defence - the cut off wheel used was worn down so far there was barely enough left to get through 16mm - so with a new full sized wheel I reckon it might be closer to cutting through cheddar.

Here it is next to a 100g snapper lead
