Tool To Cut PTO Shaft.??

[beppington]

You could also use a 4.5" angle grinder with a cutting wheel.

This is what we used for my dad's Caroni flail mower PTO shaft, & it took probably 60 seconds each. A "cut-off" disc I think it was called. Ripped right thru it.

You know you have to cut the end off both shaft sections, right?

Cut mine with a 6" Metabo. Took longer to mark than to cut.

I used a cheap ( $69. ) radiac metal chopsaw with a 12" disc acquired at HF years ago and after you have one ...... you wont use a hacksaw again.

Once you use a horizontal bandsaw, you will unplug that chopsaw!
No metal sparks in your eyes or burns on your skin from flying sparks that will ruin bearing surfaces. (such as ways on a mill or quill on a drill press)

I got a chop saw.

I used a chop saw at my Dad's shop. All I had was a rechargeable reciprocating saw and it just was not up to the task. You could pay $5 or $10 at any muffler shop and they would be glad to cut on your mark.

Its a great little town. Needs a Taco Johns and Arby's though. Fast food selection is very limited.

Doesn't need anything in the way of lakes or women. Stories of the trip made it to Florida just before my wedding and almost caused it to end before it started. Any place you can talk six women into getting into a two seater car and then taking you home is a GREAT Place to visit. The stories could go on, but my wife probably would not appreciate me putting them on the net.
