comp56 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 so I got one of these old well built map storage bins, my question is: it is 4 feet deep I would like to make it 20" 22" deep by cutting it in half......any suggestions on cutting it without completely dismantling it?

Eric - TIA Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 That is cool but not sure the best way to cut itSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas2000 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Unless you know someone with a really big bandsaw, a friend on the other end of a two man crosscut saw is your best bet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stercorarius Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Track saw or other circular saw at full depth around the perimeter. Once that is cut acquire superhuman levels of patience and go from the inside of each map compartment and cut around the outside of each one with the M12 rotary tool. I'm just not sure you can fit an arm in there and see where you are cutting. Just spit balling ideas. If you were up to selling your kidney(s) I would say Festool sword saw. Alternatively you could use your new welder to make a jig to cut square and ride along a straight edge for a chainsaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted October 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 well guys thanks for the suggestions, after thinking about this for awhile, I could not cut it straight in 2 pieces like I wanted however I decided to just cut it down to 35" high by 30" deep and just save the other good pieces for future projects. BTW aside from cutting the outside with my M18 Fuel circular saw I cut each and every square face with my M18 multi-tool and as many cut as that was less than half a fully charged 5.0ah ...... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 I'd call up Chuck Norris and have him roundhouse kick that thing right in half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric - TIA Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Wow, you did a nice job making that an even cut and looks like you have some nice wood left over for future projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbfitter Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Chain saw would have been a good option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
