[QUOTE="bradzuki, post: 476612, member: 2585"] When we split the thinner pieces, we laid it in some 3/8" thick angle iron and put 5 or 6 heavy tacks along the bottom to hold it in place. Using the hand torch on the plasma, we'd bounce around cutting slits about 18" long but not connecting them. We'd leave about 1/4" of material between each cut. After that cooled we came back with a cut off wheel and cut the 1/4" that we left and also the tack welds. They came out as close to perfect that you could get with this set up. There is no way this will work on the thicker tube though, warping and the clean up would be too much. That's just too much heat to put into it. [/QUOTE]
