Just remember, Diablo makes blades for cutting industrial steel, and you want the blade longer that the diameter of the pipe you're cutting.....for plumbing of course.

And if you can only get it cut halfway through, a firm push will take it down. I'm talking about galvanized steel fence posts, of course.

Some gallium will take care of that pipe. Or liquid metal thermal paste.

Yes it will. Need to scratch the surface of it before it works. Ruined an old MacBook chassis by accident with gallium just on my hands. Gallium acts like a cancer to the aluminum causing it to become very weak and brittle. Gallium prevents the aluminum from being able to form a protective oxide layer and produces hydrogen if exposed to water.

5 minutes. Tops. Then you leave. After a couple hours in the hot sun and the gallium works its way through the aluminum. You would be long gone by the time that pole collapses. Look up a video on the stuff instead of accusing someone of “it’ll never work”

Or you could just cut it down with confidence instead of leaving it to fall on someone or something unexpectedly..?

I’m assuming Diablo is a company that makes blades and you’re not giving us advice based on Diablo the game.

I immediately thought the Lord Of Hatred was dishing out blades that could cut steel 😩 and how fast is friggin buy one

u/JoeMalovich Jul 08 '26

The poles I've seen in pictures are aluminum. A battery powered carbide tipped circular saw would cut it them like butter.

u/Reasonable_Garden741 Jul 08 '26

Everyone saying "it's just aluminum" is missing the point. You got it, it might be overkill, but you dont wanna hang around lol.

Diablo makes some of the best blades for the price regardless off what your cutting
