[TowerTalk] Cutting 3/16" EHS...

[Keith Dutson]

I cut up some 1/4 EHS into small pieces (for junk pile) just yesterday.
Used a 24" made in Taiwan bolt cutter.  Piece of cake.

I agree with Steve  Get yourself a smallish "angle grinder"  electric ones
can be had for 30 bux or so.  If you have a good sized air compressor the
air driven grinders are even better.

If you are only doing this a few times and you have no need for a grinder
(don't know how people get along without them tho) then a thin cut off wheel
for your skill saw will do the trick nicely.  73 bob de w9ge
