petplanet Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Can anyone suggest a good tool for cutting up a large LPS? I have a large pearl bubble with three heads and it is time to remove the smaller two. I have tried hacksaws in the past with poor results. I need to cut through about 10cm of rock.

TM Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Use an axe and a rusty screwdriver. Thats how they do it on the reef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petplanet Posted May 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Hmmm, might give the rusty screw driver and axe a miss. Cut required is to deep for a dremal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suphew Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 tile cutter, either borrow, beg, steal, a little table one or buy a diamond saw blade for an angle grinder, they are about $20, next option would be one of those brick cutting chisle things you hit with a hammer. Shame your not in Wlg I could have lent you any of the above! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 If you were a man you would use your bare hand However a dremel sounds like a good option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petplanet Posted May 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Might try the angle grinder with a masonary cutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
