NoBodyImportant Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Well the answer is yes. Actually quite well. I got a good deal on about 4 tons. I’m going to process it into musket and cannon balls. So I had to get these robot counter weights into small enough pieces to get into a deep fryer and did know of another way. But this worked very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly it’s still sharp. It cuts quicker and easier then seasoned oak. My dad had a deep fryer. I see people on YouTube using them with lead often. So they need to be about basketball size to fit.

7daysinaweek Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 I bet the first cut was a proper frightener! Many, many super high velocity penetrating foreign bodies spring to mind. If you have not already done so, protect you groin, neck and eyes. With what I do not know! keep safe and all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never melted lead in it I’m just going to borrow dads to try. We are getting 8 new robots at work. The old one went to the scrap yard. The boss said he would sell the lead to me for what ever the scrapyard offered. I got it for 25cent a lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minky Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 We had a customer who used a chainsaw to cut a doorway through soft internal wall blocks.!!! He wondered why the chain was wrecked.*#!*&. What a muppet. I've never heard of using one on lead but it isn't abrasive and it's relatively soft. The only thought is that the chain sprocket area might not clear as it would do with wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSpredder Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 5 hours ago, mel b3 said: You wouldn't believe some of the things I've seen cut with a chainsaw. I was at a farm demonstration (late 1970s) where a chainsaw was being used to cut out blocks of silage from a clamp. It seemed a very quick and efficient way of doing the job, but the safety aspect did concern me -- anybody who has worked with silage will be aware that the top surface (immediately below the plastic cover) can be a very slippery place on which to stand. I am not sure what effect the acidic material would have on life of the chain and bar. The demo was using an ordinary chainsaw, but there were some models were being sold specifically for this job.

My lad is the total opposite , especially with any kind of power tool , I've always encouraged him to get stuck in to things , but he just never seems interested. 2 hours ago, Walker570 said: Saw him yesterday and checked his fingers and they where almost all still there. Are you sure that they were definitely his , and that they were definitely fingers ?. With the amount of visits he has to A+E they probably just sew anything back on 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
