I have limited ways of cutting so I need to get creative.
a 2 inch cut off wheel on a die grinder (or a dremel.. i cant believe i even said dremel out loud) works great on stainless, especially if you cet the right discs for stainless, i have some in 1mm thickness (~1/16 thick) that cut thin wall stuff like butter.. just ce sure to blow the debri out before conecting
