Reply:http://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=63487Here is a little info from a recent thread of mine. It's a great way to unweld something. If you have used a plasma, it's is similar, except with control of depth. Get a chunk of thick steel and go to town and try it. Ear plugs are a REALLY good idea, if not for the noise then to keep the sparks out."Where's Stick man????????" - 7A749"SHHHHHH!!

Reply:Originally Posted by Stick-manThis, I did not know, thank you. What are some common items made from manganese? I'm pretty sure heavy equipment cutting edges are, maybe???
