Cutting Ingots down to size
I bought 7kg of Bronze (3% silicone) recently. It arrived as a single ingot. It's far too large to fit any of my crucibles, so I need to cut it somehow. It's too thick to saw by hand. My only other cutting tools are a Dremel (too small) and an angle grinder (which I've never used). Do you think I would be able to cut it with the grinder? The ingot is quite thick and I'm concerned about being able to cut deep enough, safely, and minimising waste.
What are the usual methods of cutting ingots? I'm having a hard time finding any information about this. I don't have the money to go out and buy an expensive machine that would have no use to me beyond this one purpose, but I'm open to other solutions.
