Cutting panels where the usual grinder cutting wheel is too big, what do people use, would something like a Dremel be ok or is there something better these days.

I got an air hacksaw and a 2" air cut of saw. Get too most places. Sometimes have too cut further or into another panel but the welder fixes that.

I have a reciprocating saw thats pretty handy and have resorted to a dremel for really tight stuff before. It all gets the job done.....just depends how fast you wanna do it.

Thanks Guys have purchased some suggested tools Time is on my side well hopefully.

I have found in the past a larger grinder wheel can reach hard to get places where the smaller grinder bodies foul
A pneumatic dyna file can be useful as well.
