Hi folks, just wondered if anyone here has experience with cutting and welding bisalloy 80 HT steel plate (1 inch by 10 inch). The steel has arrived for my excavator mounted splitter (6 tonne machine, 8 way wedge, 3x12 inch rings/blocks at a time) Is it possible/viable to cut with a 9 inch angle grinder or better to use gas torch? I have read the tech manual regarding HAZ but couldn't find info on cutting wheels on grinders, which is usually how I cut stuff.
Also what is the best way to sharpen all our edges (9 feet of 1 inch) Grind it all or cutting torch most of it and then grind to tidy up?
Any recommendations on rods would be good, using a big old 200amp arc welder. Thanks for lookin. Will take some pix of our work soon.
