cutting part of a rail off, need help
« on: July 21, 2013, 09:29:24 PM »
i want to cut off part of a rail in my town. I want to cut off the whole lower rail. It is on a outdoor amphitheater at a public park. There are outlets if i need to use powertools, but i would rather use a handtool. Never really cut off kinks or anything before, got any tips?
 Rail is similar to this but the bottom rail is longer than the top rail to its like a drop kink :

exactly like this but a little bigger :

sorry that picture is so small

MuchasGracias

Where are you going to land? If it's that small space to the left of the picture I'd find another rail dude.

thats just a close up on how the smaller rail is connected to the bigger rail. thats not acutally the rail i want to cut, just one i found on google


Dug through some old footage, best screengrab i could get of the rail

Why the whole lower rail and not just the kink?

ok so regardless of where you're going to cut you have 2 options: hack saw or sawzall

hacksaw
pros: quiet, cheap
cons: you'll be there for hours. meaning if the cops roll up you're fucked.

sawzall
pros: quick & efficient. you'll be outta there in 10 mins tops.
cons: more money than a hacksaw. shits loud but by the time somebody gets around to calling the cops you'll be gone.

wear a mask or some shit in case there is cameras and also its more badass

if i were you i'd go with the sawzall especially if there are outlets near by. don't bring like your crew just you and maybe a lookout in case ya gotta cop a chase.


thanks! im just going to cut off the kink for now and then i can decide later if i should cut the second part off. going to use a sawzall too.

Definitely make sure to sand down the edges too so some poor kid walking up the stairs doesn't cut the shit out of their hand
