hey guys,

i know you do it all the time so its second nature and you do it without thinking, but what is the best way to cut a keg?

not making a boiler out of it but want to cut it open for another project.

is just as simple as taking to it with a grinder?

cheers

Yep get some stainless cutting discs for the grinder and go nuts.

sweet.. thanks mate

Just go easy and let the disc cut if you force it you will use heaps more

I hope your not going to turn it into a letter box or urinal...or use it for beer...these are things a keg was not meant for.

If a grinder is not your freind, you can always use a hacksaw :))

I agree with sam, don't use the force......luke

My mate turned one into a urinal. Got a Emu Bitter font tap on the top to flush it. And the piece de resistance, a Fremantle Dockers sticker down the bottom to piss on :))

Urinal... Never thought of that.. good idea, I do have a Dockers jersey that can soak up spills

Cheers

This may be a bit late but... I used a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade.
I started the cut with 5 x 2mm drilled holes.
Once again let the tool do the cutting not the force.

I was able to get hold of a keg that had been cut to be used as a letterbox..who the hell needs a 50 ltr letterbox.I plan on turning it into a malting kiln.
