How to cut up an aluminum box

[mike recycle]

:help:I have an all aluminum box from a moving truck which I need to cut up for removal. I would appreciate any advice or suggestions.

Carefully !

You dont say how thick it is ?
A Circular saw will usually cut Aluminium plate without to much problem without damage to the blade.
Just be careful the box is held rigid enough so it doesnt grab.
You'll need ear muffs !

If its too thin for that then tin snips.

Hacksaw with the correct course blade is the next option.

Hi,

Do you have a jigsaw? You can fit a HSS hacksaw blade in these and then cut through aluminium quite quickly.

Why not call a scrap merchant? They remove and you get some cash maybe. Otherwise cut it as the others said but if you use a friction saw make sure you use a dust mask. Aluminium oxide not good for lungs.
