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

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