Is there such a thing as a cheap easy way to cut stainless into small enough sizes to take to scrap yard. It's an old tank. Thanks.

See if any of your friends have a plasma cutter you can use. They will make short work of any thin material that is conductive.

foxtail, if your cutting up and old milk tank be careful of the refrigerant oil in the cooling lines. that stuff will flame up or even explode when heated.

To hack up stainless, use 6010 electrode and a welder big enough to power it. It'll blast right through; not pretty but it works. Kinda like what happens when you're learning to weld...

If you have access to a goodsized welder and a compressor an arc/air torch should work.

cheap cut-off wheels for a grinder, you can get them at your local hardware store, just don"t cut off into a old g as or diesel tank unless you fill it with water first
