If you have access to a plasma torch, use it. It does not concentrate heat in a large area so you'll be fine.
i used a sawzaw with a metal blade it cut ours prefect drilled the corners so that i could make a tight turn. it not as easy but thats all we had lol.
Grinder and a cut off wheel will work too
or a high powered laser, but seriously, plasma cutter is great
My laser cutter is still on layaway :) but I do have a plasma cutter but was concerned about the heat. I agree I dont think it will be in one place long enough to matter. I heard it was a nono so I thought i would ask... How bout welding in the c notch? I heard that was a no no also? Any thoughts?
From what I understand you do NOT want to use a plasma
I used a grinder with a cut off wheel quick and clean
from my experience, use a grinder with a cutoff wheel, i use dewalt wheels myself, very quick and straight cuts, or a "Sawsall" with metal cutting blade, always dewalt, if you buy the cheaper blades they wont last. also on the welding note, welding in the notch isnt a bad idea, just dont let it heat up too much and warp, welded cnotches on plenty of trucks and never had any issues, including my daily, a slammed hardbody. when i do my notch im going to weld it in
Plas is the way to go if you have access to one
