Cutting Armour plate
 

Hi All,
Has anyone got any suggestions or hints on the best way of cutting armour plate? I will probably use an Oxy torch rather than a 9" angle grinder due to access to power. What gas settings etc would be good and tip size.

The hull I am attacking is well past restoration but still has a few useful panels and other fittings needed for another carrier owner who is about to embark on the long road to restored condition.

Rob

can you show us some images of the hull ?

It cuts like mild steel, but you can't cut the stainless weld with the gas. Arc-air works great though.

Thanks Lyn, figured it couldn't be too hard due to the condition of the hull we are going to attack, its well cut up!!.


Richard,
I will get some photo's tomorrow of the hulls and post them when I get back.

Cheers
