To get the thinnest, smoothest kerf I could, I decided to use a Dremel and their tiny cutting wheels.

Yes, a plasma cutter (pun not intended) would have been faster, as would a larger air grinder
with a cutting disc, but both would have given a rougher cut and would have taken more work afterwards.

This method was fairly slow, but it was controllable, and was quite adequate for the
approximately 20-ga stainless. One tip, however; Dremel-brand cut-off discs last better
than twice as long as cheap-no-name discs. Spring for the good stuff.

If you burn your arm off and vaporize a bulkhead, it's your own damn fault. Indiscriminately shooting fusing plasma around might seem like fun,
but it's actually very dangerous and highly irresponsible. Read all the warnings and instructions before firing. Always point the muzzle in a safe direction.
