Stainless

I gotta cut in a window for a future Jap. restaurant so you can see into the Kitchen. I gotta cut thru some stainless steel wall sheeting to do so. What do y'all suggest to cut it with? I was gonna use a grinder with some thin wafer blades, unless y'all got a better idea. The window is gonna be 24" x 96".

You might ask the JAP

You need to know the gauge of the SS before that can really be answered. I would have to think the best, easiest, most professional way would be to remove it, go to the local machine shop who have a whole slew of tools for working with this material and have them do the cut, you return and replace with a healthy markup on it....seen the price of sushi? I am sure they would appreciate this as it is the best possible way to do the work.

You try to grind through Stainless and it is gonna "blue". Gotta keep it cool.

I'm thinkin' now about using some electric or pneumatic shears.

sheers may rippel the ss, like was asked before how thick is it? Chris may have the best and easiest answer, take it to someone who does that, and mark it up.

I was able to cut it with R & L hand snips, was not easy tho, well, it got alot easier when I handed it off to my helper. The shears took out too much material in the cut.

Always does. Just like digging post holes. They're not near as bad when your walking away from them
