SCRAPPING

[Aaron_butcher 17]

i've just started scrapping after being laid off and i've been given a whole farms worth of metal to clear.

found out today the scrap yard dont want gas bottles or fridges (after id driven over there with a load full of gas bottles and fridges )

But there are mountains of wheels all still with tyres on. Can someone tell me a quick way to get tyres off of rims, like will a 4 inch angle grider cut them off?

Cheers, Aaron.

dont think you'll grind through rubber mate and i take it you dont fancy the prospest of a hacksaw? One of those retorital(spelling) saws probably do it.

DIAMOND

cheers mate

Do i need to cut round the outside (like a doughnut) or straight through the tread?

Will it just fly straight through? ive got 70 something to cut.

Thanks for the advice

a diamond blade will do it but it clogs it all up.

the reason you got the farm clearence is because whats left is no use so tell him to clean up is own place and get yourself out hawking.

if youv got aload ov fridges your laughing, take the black motor out the bottom and stihl saw them open to take the motor out...the shells go in as heavy!!

 

smash the brass tops off the gas bottels, theres a wage.

 

then stihl saw the gas bottels in half, then the scrappy will take them (heavy again)....just pic a hole in the bottle the day before to drain gas before cutting.

i recently just chopped 4 up with a stilsaw , and the blade snapped on th fifth one .... so we used a screwy and a hammer which worked pretty quik but would imagine startin the split in the tyre with the screwy wud be a fcuk on.....

 

stilsaw will go straight through really quick mate these were 18 inchs the tyres had quite a bit of width ...... but it did snap eventually .
