Hey Gib I like that "OCS" business. I picked up one set of OMS from an old Mercedes 2 1/2 ton truck and the base spring was about 1" thick (metric always a little off) and 5 1/2" wide. Man, what a set of springs! Almost needed a 1 ton to haul them off.
I'll stick with the portaband saw for cutting up the stuff. Better control, less waste, and no burn slag to contend with. Stuff really does cut quite easily with the right blade.
Get'em, heat'em 'n beat'em!
