cutting steel, need help
I have a couple large pieces of hot dipped galvanized I-beam steel that may need to be cut up by me if i can't get a scrap recycler in to remove it from my property, what type of cutting torch would i use/rent? im not sure if i could even rent it just want to know ahead, never welded or used that type of gas acetelynestuff before and don't want to hurt myself Thanks.

faster, easier, safer than using a cutting torch if you have little or no experiance
good luck Rob

Ohhh, a chop saw LOL
seriously , thanks for the idea but take a look at what i would be working on, as a last resort if im unable to sell it.
And it is not installed over the water anymore it has been removed and lying on the ground.
and to complete the picture this is what it is for in case those not familiar with boating stuff

I'd go with a Porta Band but if you do want fire no you cannot lay them on there sides and you have to have chains to hold them up (its the law here anyway) but i would do the porta band cause its alot easier to work with and you don't have to worry about hot metal dropping on your foot when your cutting

Whatever was bolted was undone by the company, the box steel and 'I' beam piece's need to be cut in half at least for handle ability to put in the back of the Ranger and haul to scrap yard, i need to make 5 or 6 cuts at the most, i have a sawzall so i'll try that first and see how it works.
thanks for the ideas everyone
