What's the correct way to purge a propane tank before you cut into it! Have a couple used tanks and sure don't want to cause an explosion when I cut into it.
Thanks
Jck,
I sure hope not. I left quite a bit of clearance between the doors and the surrounding area. First sliding doors I have built. Just wanted something a little different. Have never seem any sliding doors before.
I have been a welder and machinist since i was 16. I'm 67 now so I have several years of experience.
After cutting out the doors I welded a 1/8" X 2" strip to the inside of the doors. Then used a 1" X 1" X 1/8" angle as a guide. Had to rip one edge of the angle down to 1/2" to get the clearance...
Working on the doors today. Trying my hand on sliding doors rather than lift up. Got one pretty much done. Still needs a little tweaking to operate properly. This photo shows the door half open
I don't use much acetylene anymore since I got my plasma cutter. Very nice and helpful tool. Should have gotten one years ago. Savings on acetylene would more than pay for it. Mine will easily cut thru 1" steel plate.
