im cutting into metal but trying to work out how many wheels I need to cut through say 15mm plate per metre. Also I'm assuming theres some kickback on the rotation so will need to be negative and tie off to some sort of line to keep me in position. How much noise - will i need earplugs and of course the rotation action will silt everything pretty bad?I use underwater hydraulics. What do you want to know?
If using rock cutting wheels, use only those rated for underwater use. Otherwise the binder won't hold up and the wheel falls apart. Personally, I'd spend the thousands of dollars on carbide steel. Maybe not as a beginner.
I'm guesstimating the thickness but its side of the hull- cut would be 2.4m (square 800 each side)That is thick! How long of a cut?
yes thats my other option but more complex-Sounds like you need an underwater cutting torch.
