-
- This is another job a Dremel moto tool, equipped with an abrasive cutoff
- wheel, can do. I've (legally) cut through hardened steel padlocks with
- this setup.
-
- Dremel sells two grades of cutoff wheels. Get the more expensive one --
- the type which looks like woven fiberglass. The cheaper type can and do
- break off and aim for your face when they shatter.
-
- As Chris pointed out, be sure to wear eye protection in any event.
