What type of equipment did u use to cut rear crossmember

So here is a question so what are you all using to cut the rear crossmember and your c-notch. I was thinking of getting a oxy acetlyne torch to do the cutting i have a sawz all and a air body saw and also a air cut off wheel. so what is everyone using and the easiest way to do this. just curious

a sawzall will do you just fine,
just get a fresh blade and go for it.

i would imagine a sawzall would be your best bet. just get a new nice long blade and take your time. a torch is going to make a nice mess unless you use a torch every day and are a veteran at it.

PLASMA cutter lol, actually sawzall is best for these mazda frames they have quite a few inner supports in the frame rail, making plasma not as easy as youd think, unless you have a trusty hammer like i do!!

you can cut a straight clean cut with a sawzall, but it'll take time. i love the plasma cutter, it's way fast, but you MUST clean (grind down/off) the slag before you weld to it.
a cutoff wheel works pretty bitchin too, i'd rate it between the plasma and the sawzall in speed. i like the 4 1/2" cutoff wheels for an electric grinder. way faster than air, but the disc's tend to be like 3x as thick

thanks for all the imput will post pic soon of my progress
