Foundry/forge metal

[Bofobo]

Well gents I have a problem, it's an odd problem for someone who relies on scrap steel but I have to much of a specific type, namely foundry/forge material.
my neighbour gave me a propane fuel tank (dual tank) and I need someone with a cutting torch or plasma cutter to help divide them. I can offer one of them in compensation. Anyone?

I'd be happy to give you a hand mike. I'd like a forge and was wondering how to get started.

If you two want some company, let me know and I'll come too.

Hi
Josh? @Jwest7788 time for a meetup?

Yep the plasma cutter cut up this tank like butter. Unfortunately I've only got one picture before we started. That's Mike.

 

[Jwest7788]

Yeah, we're way overdue for a meetup. With winter finally looking like it's here, there's no better time to get tim's!

John, Same place as usual, maybe Sat the 28th?

 

[Janger]

Sounds good to me.

 

[Dabbler]

that'd be great!

If this is an open event, fire out the address and time. I'd like to chat with like minded individuals

This is what we cut up. You can see where the plasma could not cut through very well (too thick) where this steel collar was on the inside of the tank. My plasma is only 40Amp and it realistically can manage 1/4" no problem and 3/8 is about the limit. The manual claims 1/2" under "ideal conditions" whatever that is.

If you need a deeper cut mine will cut up to 1" fairly easily. Hypertherm 1100.
