Cutting Torch Owner(s) Near Tulsa?

Howdy all. Does anybody near Tulsa/Owasso have a cutting torch(or plasma cutter) they'd be willing to let me borrow to cut some plate steel? It's no thicker than maybe a 1/4". I'm working on a little project at home. The steel i want to cut pieces off of is a steel girder that would be a bit more weight and bulk than i would want to try to load into the back of my truck. (It's probably 16in wide by 10 plus feet long, thick I beam.)

Thanks in advance.

You'll have to excuse Stan. He just finished the book "How win Friends with your Dry Wit!".

Clearly he hasn't quite finished "Grammar for Dummies"!

It would be one heck of a Plasma Cutter to go through 1/4 inch - I used one last week on a barrel, and they are best on thinner stock.

I'd use a torch if I was you...

PS: Something for ya...

Nah, it's nothing for a plasma cutter to cut 1/4"... the small shop I learned to weld in had a small one that would easily cut 3/4".

I dunno?
