Now that would be silly.. Diamond discs are for stone.


Not as stupid as you think they are not just for stone

Not sure what size of a grinder you guys are using to use so many discs. I'd be looking at a 10" disc i think, il have a go and see what's what. If it doesnt work then il think of a plan B


Thats a Disc Cutter not a grinder.


Im not actually sure what it is tbh Lol. It's some heavy duty thing that i used once to cut some deep concrete, il be obviously getting a metal disc/blade for it. My dad calls it a still saw, no idea if that is the correct term for it. It will be big enough to cut a nova up imo, it isnt just a one handed grinder thing

Did very well to get £140 and it collected when it wasn't even a complete car's worth of metal. Wouldn't even be worth that in weight now, never mind the cost to collect.

£140/t isn't too bad.

Suppose it depends how bare it is.

It's £130 a tonne here at the moment. With the shell that i have and the other spare metal i reckon it'll be around half a tonne. I gave the cutting a go this morning and it worked perfectly and pretty straight forward
