Easier way to cut open compressors

**silverockdzl** · 05-30-2015, 12:01 AM

I have only cut open 3 or 4 compressors and it is pretty easy. However, I have a little bit of a hard time keeping the compressors from moving while I hit them with the angle grinder. So I got to thinking I should temporarily mount them to something so I can zip right thru them. This is what I came up with. Once they are mounted to the board I will tip them on their side and start cutting. I just mounted these two tonight but I didn't have time to try this out. I will report back once I get them open.

Even easier with this jig my friend which you can build out of scrap steel

bean, I have seen that video and that is a very sweet rig. I don't have that much ingenuity to be able to build a setup like that. Thanks!

All you need is some "C" channel. Bolt the channel down to a wooden table in a "U" shape leaving the front open for a door. If not all you need is the "U" shape and thats it. Should lock down three points and secure it far better than wooden screws. Yoiu can find some "c" channel in a futon frame, etc
