Best way to un-weld pipe?
If you must sawzall it........
Squirt can of used motor oil - hit the blade every 20 seconds or sooner.
Slow cutting speed
Use a long blade and move blade back and forth so the heat dissipates.
Heat is what kills the blades.
Torch is the best way to go.

Thanks! I tried the sawzall. It works, but takes a while. And it eats
up the blades pretty fast. The pipe is about 3/16 wall thickness.
Are you using Milwaukee blades? :-)
Now that I look, yes! In fact, they are labeled "The Torch" :-) It's
not a Milwaukee saw, though.
I'd be interested in any tricks to keep the blade from overheating
(other than "wait"
that seems to be what does them in.
