Hey Dan and Dustin, did you even read the question, For someone with 30 yrs exp I would like to know what you have experience at. depending on the size of the 6cm thick piece of IRON, you could use a plasma cutter or torches, If flames and sparks are a nono then maybe a cold saw. Chop saws are effective on smaller pieces. If it`s only a few cuts a machine shop with a shear is the cleanest.

Good question that I've always asked. I guess one factor is how often and how much metal you need to cut. Commercial diamond wheel chain saws cut metal real fast because emergency firemen and professional construction workers can'f fool around. But at home I use a simple hack saw and get plenty of exercise sawing through metal all the time. I've tried a sawzall metal blade, but for heavy duty cutting, the blades don't last long. Of course there's a cutting torch if you want to invest in gas welding type equipment.

6cm nearly 2-1/2 inches thick. You're well into oxy=acetalene torch territory. By far the most efficient and economical for the the do-it-yourselfer. A decent set of regulators and torch head will last the home garage a lifetime, and you can lease the bottled gasses in a size suitable to your consumption. contact your local welder's supply house for more concise advice pertinant to your requirements

the most cost effective and efficient way of cutting metal is with a plasma cutter...but as these are not on the cheap side will cost to much.......6mm steel????whats it for a tank...????and or is it 0.6mm....like as standard Gage steel.....if 0.6-0.8 mm and good pair of nibblers will do the trick....cut straight through....cost about $150-300.....but can use over & over again...

Depends entirely on the type of metal and configuration. You wouldn't use a hack saw on a 12 inch steel beam...

it quite is fee-helpful yet human beings waste a lot stuff now and say "oh i'm going to easily placed it interior the recycling it doesnt count number", they use reclyling as an excuse for dropping stuff, yet recycling (as in once you place it interior the recycling container outdoors) makes use of up alot of power. living house recycling is extra advantageous, like once you utilize bottle repeatedly back extremely of procuring for brand spanking new ones, and not making use of paper once you quite dont want it, and making use of cardboard packing containers back. living house recycling is extra funds friendly.
