gonefishin', ,,, I've used a hack-saw many times to cut thru 6" thick lead bars....takes a bit of work though,,,if I could get my hands on those massive 3' long bars again,...I'd try a sawzall with a long blade,,,don't put more lead in the pot than you can comfortably pour...the pot can grow heavy while your pourin'...


Thanks for the info. I wonder if cutting it with a band saw would work. Too much heat, gummin up the blade?


It don't gum the blade up.It heats the lead an then the lead cools it's like ur going nowhere's fast..

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
