I have a piece of CRS, about a foot square
and 1" thick. I want to cut out 2 disks about
4" in diameter. I will ultimately turn and
finish them into flywheels.

Given my tools, here are my options:

1. Rough out the disk with the gas axe,
grind away kerf with angle grinder,
turn on lathe.

2. Mount plate on rotary table, taking small
passes mill out disk, finish on lathe.

3. Try to cut out disk with sabre saw,
finish on lathe. Painful just thinking
about it...

Any other options or suggestions?


Hole saw in a drill press, with a new saw it should take about 15 minutes
per disk. Been there done it.

Flood with coolant all the while.
