Hi Budd,

Easy. Say your weight measures 2" thick x 12" wide at the bottom where you want to cut to be.
Weight of steel .28lbs/ci

2 x 12 = 24ci
24 x .28= 6.72lbs for every 1" of material at the bottom or 1"x 2"x 12" existing

18/6.72= 2.68" to cut off or the drop off piece would be 2.68"x 2"x 12".

math check:
2.68x 2 x 12= 64.32ci x .28lb/ci = 18lbs - 68lbs = 50lbs

Only if you wanted to make a equal cut all the way around would your 65.125" measurement be needed, so it's confusing you, get rid of it.
