Cutting Stucco/metal flange on a sliding door.
Hiya Folks,
I'm getting ready to remove an existing metal sliding glass door and replacing it with patio doors. I have stucco sitting on top of the sliding door flange (exterior). I was planning to cut through the stucco and through the metal flange to minimize damage to the stucco. I have both a grinder and circular saw. What sort of grinding wheel or saw blade would you recommend for this? I could use a masonry to cut the stucco then come back with a metal cutting blade/disc but was hoping there was one blade/disc that would do both of them in one shot. Thanks for any inputs. cc |

Thanks for any inputs. cc a diamond disk will do it but is expensive Certainly does not have to be expensive!! The diamond disk at Harbor Freight http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=46152 is less than $ 3 per. I used one of these disks on my grinder to cut 24 feet of stucco. After that I gave the disk to my daughter and she scored at least 100 paving stones before the disk got dull. Certainly a great value. Ivan Vegvary |

I'll try the few grinding wheels I have on hand and if they don't work all that well, I'll head to my local HF. Cheers, cc |
