Multitool

[Mrxman]

I bought a multi tool recently which has been great on wood.
Last weekend I cut an old gas pipe under the floor board. It took forever and the teeth on the blade were beginning to look a bit flat at the end.

There are a few more pipes to cut and was wondering what my best option would be: 1) buy an cheap angle grinder or 2) buy a carbide metal blade for the multi tool.

Any suggestions what would be the best option?
Is it possible to cut metal pipes with a multi tool without destroying the blade?

Make sure the pipe is held firm with not even the slightest vibration. A metal blade should fly through it

Great thanks. Will give it a go

what material is it made from as in copper or steel ??
a thick steel pipe would be better with another tool dependant on space available

I actually think it's steel. Very old pipes, rusty.

a say 115mm angle grinder may only cut about 35-40mm
what size are your pipes

My estimate is the largest pipe is no more than 40 mm so an angle grinder may work.
