It all depends on what kind of blade you have in each tool. Also you have to consider cost and how long the blade will last. I'm cutting a bunch of 1.5" X 1/8" angle iron. I used 2 Sawsall blades, one that cost around $14 and one around 4. The $4 blade lasted for about 4 minutes of cutting. The other blade about 10 minutes, The diamond cutting wheel has lasted for a couple hours of cutting and still is not dull. The cutting wheel was a Diablo and cost around $18. I found it cut a little slower, but if you're constantly changing sawsall blades and they're 14 a pop... well, you can do the math. (I stopped using the sawsall blades)
Update: I still am using the diablo diamond edge 5" wheel I got a month ago and it still cuts well. Have put in about 40 hours of cutting on it. I checked and it actually cost $22, not 18. Considering 40hrs x 60= 2,400 minutes, that's less than a penny a minute, whereas the sawsall blades cost me about $1 per minute of cutting, 100 times as much! Just FYI.
what would you use to cut a 3m long RSJ into Hal lengthways ? To make two 3m long T bars for a glazing bar ? thanks, possibly the grinder with a special diamond cutter is best ???
What metal or metal layers would you use to reinforce the exhaust pipe adjoining the catalytic converter? Ar400 or angle iron strips, tungsten rods inside cold rolled tubing or what?
@@dirtdogdigital3979 Even plain steel will be very difficult to cut with a blade designed for thin metal, which is what thieves use to steal catalytic converters. I would recommend just using mild steel.

Just the info I was looking for. Nice job getting right to the point. More videos should be like this one. Thanks for posting. Cheers!!
Great video helped me out ❤❤
Get the blade "up to speed" "before" contact to the surface.
Well done

Band saw is the hardest to aim. You cant see the crosshairs
Only problem with band saw is angles, you only get the depth of the saw
What kind of blade did you use with the sawzall
A Milwaukee Torch blade. They work great for heavy metal like rebar or cast iron pipe.
Sawzaw blades "for metal" are clearly labeled as such when you buy them. Small teeth metal. Big teeth / fewer teeth... wood.

The grinder should work for that

@@antoniohoward981 Yes it can but you need a metal cutting blade.

I would recommend simply purchasing a pre-made catalytic converter shield. If you really want a DIY option, any thick steel will do the job.
@@DragonBuilds Yes, shields are great. But, in your opinion, which metals are the hardest to cut? The thieves don't want to be down there very long.

Plasma cutter, oxy\fuel gas cutter or laser cutter.

Okay.
Diamond graphitizes at around 850C. With out coolant the diamond blade is useless.
These diamond blades are specifically made for cutting metal dry.
