Forklift forks

Are fork tines hardened or not? i have got to cut a couple down, and would a 9" grinder be OK?

Cheers

I think you will find that they are, but either way a 9" grinder will cut them. Just don't dwell in one place and let them get too hot. Pour or spray some water on them now and again if you are worried

Grinder will go through them ok, but a hot axe was tool of choice for ours

Don't have a hot axe, so grinder it is, and just keep moving it.

just move over the top back and forth without pressing on the machine too hard if the blade is slowing down your pressing 2 hard it wear the disk out faster and cuts slower and overloads the grinder
