The point where a shed stops being storage and starts being a workshop.
Three tools, working in sequence. Cut it square and cold on the deep-cut band saw — no shower of sparks, no blued end to grind back. Clean the edge and dress the weld with the cordless die grinder, which does an air tool's job without an air compressor. Then join it on the synergic MIG welder, which works out its own voltage and wire speed so your first bead looks like your fiftieth.
Together they're a real fabrication setup for less than one professional machine. Before you strike an arc: auto-darkening helmet, gloves, fire extinguisher. None of those are optional, and none of them are an upsell.
