    One of the yards I go to has something with jaws that look like a huge pair of bolt cutters operated by foot pedals. I've watched them cut 1/2" up to 2" copper pipe with it. They cut the copper into 12" pieces and then toss them into a gaylord for #1 copper. Any solder joints are cut out and put in a separate gaylord for #2 copper.

    Yeah I was thinking about something like that.
    I cut a table saw with a grinder blade on it, but it jacks the pipes around a lot and does not feel safe. Also then you have to pick up all the pieces.
    That throatless sheeer thing looks interesting as well.
    Thanks for all the input
