in THE MAIN WALL
I have an old steam boiler made of steel. If I could do the demolition I could save alot. How thick would the steel walls be? What equipment would I need to do this?

Thanks

Rob

    Steel would require a 7" grinder and dozens of steel cutting wheels. A sawzall works OK but both are somewhat slow-going. If you have ventilation, a oxy-acetylene torch is best...if cast iron, sledge it and bust it up.

    boiler demolition

    The boiler is an American Standard (Kewanee Boiler Division) Round Type R boiler Series 10X, no. 1735.

    Could the walls be more than 1/8 inch , 1/4 inch thick? What about a circular metal cutting saw? How experienced do you need to be to use an oxy-acetelene torch?

    Thanks
