Default How to cut this copper coil

Maybe a low speed circular saw with a zero rake blade. Anything
with a rake will probably dig in. A pity the coil is not open enough to
use tubing cutters on it.


I bought a 60 tooth circular saw blade for "non-ferrous". I will give
it a try.


I'd go with the slow speed metal cutting circle saw. I have the HF
knockoff of the Milwaukee unit and it works great. The blade is
completely shielded so the large hot chips don't go flying.

I bought the HF unit for a particular job cutting rectangular tubing,
considering it disposable. It's actually been a pretty good saw and
is several years old. It should slice that copper with no effort at
all.
