dont forget the clamp/cut both sides trick. get yourself a cordless 4.5 grinder and put a slicer blade in it. in a corded grinder slicer blades are dangerous, they have enough torque to shatter the blade when they get bound up, but the new crop of battery grinders (I use the 18v type) when the blade gets in a bind it just stops, no where near enough torque to explode into shrapnel. with enough practice you will get a mastery of it, wielding it like a surgeon uses a scalpel.
Great advice on the grinder - Currently I'm using an air-powered die grinder with a 3" cutting wheel. I'll look at the cordless grinders.

I'll also need to research that clamp/cut both sides trick...
