ok as most of you know I live in the land of palm trees , senoritas and a strange fiery glowing orb in the sky.
Said orb softened my 1.8m s/s roughly midway in the motor press up against tools putting 1cm kink in it. Was wondering if any of you have cut these down successfully? Perhaps I just need 2 end stoppers?
 
I was gonna buy one and cut to 800 but haven't yet now this thread might open a can of worms for me if it can be done and how to do it
 
If I'm not about much after this thread

I cut down my 1200 into 750 and 450. I got some new stoppers and drilled a couple of holes for the stopper plugs to sit in....just used a fine toothed hacksaw and was a fine job
 
Been sitting there like an ornament since the summer takes while for the penny to drop these days , too much shoite going on . :birras:

TBH if it wasn't for the sun most people wouldn't be here, have to be psychic to drive here, optimist to get anything and customer service is r******d.
 
Not working for self anyhow and all the probs of labs and sound guys to work with exist here too prob worse as the place is awash with heavy drinkers and coke heads

Most disturbing thing I saw was just outside of marbella three lanes going either way with a dog who had made it somehow up against the concrete central barrier terrified trying to scale it into the path of another 3 lanes doing 120 kmh :( I didn't look back.
 
@A.plasterer, don't use the electric cutting disk - the heat transfer will twist & warp the blade. @Pug is right.
Also, 9" ain't all that great...the missus screams her head off evertime we do it
 
It doesn't where you live in the world the humans behave very similar...at least a blue sky each morning brings a smile
 
I made an 800 and a 400 from a 1.2. Had a speedscam that split so used the stop ends from that to finish the others off. Just used a mini reciprocating saw with a metal cutting blade. Took about 5 mins to do. POP
