First time cutting a hitch receiver. Angle grinder or portable bandsaw?
I need to cut a section out of a class 3 hitch receiver to modify it for a project. It’s the heavy wall square tube kind. I’ve got a 4.5 inch angle grinder with cutoff wheels and I’ve used it plenty, but I’ve also got access to a portable bandsaw. I’m leaning toward the bandsaw because I feel like it’ll be cleaner and less likely to send sparks everywhere, but the receiver is already welded to a frame so I’d be cutting it in place. Anyone done this before with either tool Is one noticeably safer or easier for someone who doesn’t do this every day I’ve got a face shield and clamps either way, just trying not to make a mess of it.
