View Full Version : cutting tool.?
just wondering what the best tool to use is for cutting the bumper.?
i basically want to cut a few slats to aid air flow, i also what to cut inbetween the lower bumper/grill bits.
i have an angle grinder! would this do the job? just thinking as ive used an angle grinder on a scrap bumper and the cuts were not neat at all. so im thinking would it be down to the blade used? what blade is best?

I used a hacksaw blade on mine to make the towing eye 'slit' bigger, then filed it silky-smooth.
i have used a jigsaw in the past, worked well :)

i used an angle grinder but it wasnt my greatest idea:scared:
ive also got one of these demel type tools, but that'll take forever to cut the bumper:crap:
im thinking of using on of them metal diamond cutting discs on the angle grinder.??
i dont want to feck it up as obviously you only get one chance!
:scratch:
Angle grinder like Dave said...its like a hot knife through butter :D

I suggest you the Multi Cutter PMF 180E from Bosch

Ideal for such jobs.
If you are cutting big section out a hacksaw to start and then a normal handsaw was spot on:agree:

ive just done mine with a dremmel , a bit dodgey i wouod say a electric recipertating saw would be best
small grinder for certain things...jig saws are good to just be careful it does not jump
an have your finger off...
