Hi all,
I have been keeping my eye out for cast iron at the local scrap yard that would be suitable for making some straight edges and dovetail templates as I gear up for some resto work on the lathe and mill. You don't see too much cast iron about that isn't shaped like a pump, or something.
I saw this and grabbed it for a song. It is a 110cmx20cmx8cm. The 'ears' at each end extend on that given length. It must weight in at a 120kg or so. It is an elevator weight.

If anybody out there is after some cast, and they have the means to help me cut a length or two off this they are welcome to share it with me.
If nobody, then all hints as to how (or where - even professionally) I may get it cut are welcome! :-
Many thanks.
Greg.
