Default cutting stainless

hi,

Some questions on cutting stainless. I have an angle grinder with an
attachment for cutting metal, it's probably a bit dangerous but it works
well. I can get extra thin disks suitable (and advertised) for cutting
stainless, but I wondered about the heatlth risks. It doesn't seem that
healthy to breathe dust containing chromium and nickel which has burned.

The same question about using a plasma torch.

Second question, can anyone suggest a cheapish method for cutting 3 mm = 1/8
inch stainless sheet? I don't want to cut that much, but a bit more than
would be comfortable with a hacksaw.


Thanks,
