    Have a job where I have to replace about 450 feet of 6" threaded black pipe. What is the best way to cut the pipe and the fastest. Cutting torch is not a option. Does anyone make a portable band saw that big? Thanks for your help

    no problem

    we just did a 6" job and we used our rigid hydraulic pipe cutter powered by a rigid #700 drive. there is no other way!

    Hmmmmmmmm

    If it has to be cut in place than a pipe wrap-around and several passes with a portable bandsaw should do the trick

    I have done a bit of steam piping. I have used hydraulic pipe cutters and other cutters. The best I think is a band saw. Makes a perfect strait cut. If you have a skate roll table before and after it makes cutting a snap. Are you welding or threading?

    Edit, sorry I thought you where trying to install not demo. I always-ed used a torch.

    Diito on the torch

    It would be the fastest. Maybe you can get some welding blankets and build a fireproof tent around your work if fire is an issue. Lots of hard, dirty work no matter how you do it though. Use respirators too, if you're hackin' up the black stuff, you need to improve on the respirator. Grainger has a nice inexpensive one that does a good job. Item # 4RM12
