That looks AMAZING... still would want to make a support buck I think.. but if that does half of what it says.. it's a remarkable tool.
THANKS wmhegbli |

Eh, has twice the kerf of a normal saw...
Kidding, of course- kerf's usually a small issue. It would probably save time since you don't need to change blades. I'm on a bench sander/grinder kick now for new power tools, I don't need to look at new saws!

Makeupguy, yes I would make a large wood circle to put the can lid on, then use those manufacturing pressure clamps to hold down the lid. I realize this is a free hand method, but I was considering cost.
If you can by a band saw, I think that would be the best tool to push the trash can lid through. |

Craftsman makes this twin blade saw also. About $100

You can use a plasma cutter to make the cuts, just make absolutely certain you are using it in a WELL VENTILATED area. Otherwise an angle-grinder fitted with a high-speed cutting disk will do well. Water Jets, while being downright sexy pieces of fabrication equipment are costly (both to buy, or to hire)!

I have one of those dual saws on it's way to me in the mail!! I can't wait to see if it does what it claims on TV.
I'll give a review when it arrives. |

Cutting bright coated metals with heat applications will produce toxic fumes that will make you sick and in worst case scenarios will kill you.
Water jet cutting is well worth the hire cost. I had 60 sword blanks cut from stainless plate for $290. I made the investment money back (plus profit) on the first order.

Electric metal shears are great for some thing shears but you can not cut certain things
for example I have Milwaukee Electric Sheet Metal Shear Heavy Duty 189 gauge Shear Cat No. 6850 Volts AC 120 0-2500 RPM Minimum Cutting Radius 7” Will cut 18 gauge (0.0478”) steel 20 gauge (0.0360”) stainless steel But trying to cut something with a bend will not happen. Also between the blades will be a 3/16 or so curly curf that is removed. Have you tried a metal cutting circular saw. Look like a wood saw but will cut 1.25" plate straight and fast with very little clean up. My buddy bought one of the Milwaukee's for around 300 and uses it more than his plasma. The other type of cutter I mentioned runs about 150.00 and is worth it if you need it. I only used mine on a couple of small jobs and am no longer using it. Hense the other problem with some of these tools. |

I've used water jet in my work to cut granite, stainless steel, and mild steel. Water jet cutting works on flat materials such as flat sheets of almost any type of material. But this technology (to the best of my knowledge) is not good for compound curves like a garbage can lid. It's about the jet nozzle tracking in two dimensions, but not three.
