Plasma Cutter for Keggle

[OutbackNash]

Anyone know where I can get my hands on a plasma cutter for the day, got my hands on a Keg and looking to convert it once I've scraped together a lid/thermometer and the rest!

Is it just to take the top off? You can always just use an angle grinder.

Either way make sure it's got no pressure in it.

Here's a pretty good thread on grinder-cutting. Gotta say I love the sound of plasma. I have three to do and soooooo little time.

Coats or Kennards will likely do you one for half a day. Bit of pricey option unless you have a specific task in mind I reckon.
They do kick arse however and make short, neat work of ******* stainless steel.

I used a 4' grinder, u can rest the grinder against the handle rim and just follow it around. I then hit it with a flap disc to tidy it up. If u can, cut one a bit smaller than the next vessel so you can use as a lid!

I dumped a couple of litres of water in mine before cutting it stopped any sparks from scorching the bottom .

Or just cut from the inside (need small hands though)
