Working with Hardox...?

[Roboteernat]

First thing is that you would need an angle grinder with cutting disks and sanding disks.
Drilling, you will need to get some Cobolt drill bits - toolstation have these, https://www.toolstation.com/power-to...drill-bits/c82. You will need some water soluble cutting fluid, or better like CT-90.

The blade on the bandsaw will not cope with steel tbh, unless its a variable speed one of decent quality. I wouldnt dream of putting some into my Aldi/Lidl bandsaw.

Obtaining it is more difficult, but possible from suppliers as a FULL sheet.

Most people design something up in cad or on paper and get it watercut/plasma cut from K-cut, Jonno from ER or other suppliers.

I would recommend doing some cardboard designing and making it from 3mm MDF sheet before committing to Hardox if your laser cutting.

for my complex shapes on mine, its actually made up from triangles pieced together and adjusted with the grinder to suit, then welded in place. I also used the angle grinder to cut mostly the way through a flat shape, then folded it to get the shape I needed.
