Not sure how many sawzall blades takes to cut compressors open never figured that out yet. Blades can be costly. Especially diablo. Blade cost can quickly put a dent in copper profit even at 100lbs. Maybe someone has done compressors with a sawzall and figured this out???.
    Lol ... a box trap ! Good one. Maybe a pretty womans called Peggy and a bottle of baby oil would be even more enticing for old diddy ?



    Not sure if that's legal though ..... it's called entrapment.

    ==================================

    On a more serious note: You might try cutting a bit below the weld. Maybe half an inch or so. The metal close to the weld is wicked hard. That will wreck your sawzall blades.

    There are times when the right tool makes all of the difference in the world. Greytruck has been using a portable bandsaw for some of his work. It's all forward motion at slow speed. It makes sense that the blade would hold up a lot longer by doing it this way. Especially if it was all lubed up with baby oil while you are doing the cutting.

    LMAO .... scrapper porn. Check out the action at about 4.02 minutes into the video.
