Let me suggest a cordless one. Great for taking to the junk yard to remove those things where the bolts are too rusted. Around here they won't let you bring in a torch but I don't think they object to the saws. Randy On 10/03/2014 5:41 PM, Max Dillon wrote: Really thinking about that

I would like to suggest, from experience, the Harbor Fright, made by the lowest bidder in China, metal cutting saw blades are absolute crap. If you wish to have success in cutting metal, spend the extra for good quality bi-metal cutting blades. You will be glad you did. The disposable saw

I bought one of those 2-3 years ago when my other good one stripped the drive gear, and surprisingly and amazingly it has taken a lot of abuse and has worked well. Go figure. For $20 it is basically disposable, but this one has held up well. --R On 3/9/14 8:20 PM, Mitch Haley wrote: Max

Suggest instead, you scribe a line on the barrel and use a jig saw with metal cutting blades. The barrel is at best 18 gage sheet metal so the blade will cut it quickly and easily. Let the saw do the work and don't crowd the blade, they will last much longer. If you have a sawsal same result.
