I just cut two kegs using Bobby's style jig. I used two Dewalt cutoff discs ($4) and about 1 hour of effort (from building the jig to filing down the edge). Easy squeezy! Thanks, Bobby for creating the Keggle Cutting wiki!

Passedpawn's jig is definitely simpler! Wish I saw that prior to building the other. Oh well, the cat got skinned either way. Can't wait to brew in the new keggle.

I would have used a method similar to passedpawn's design if my grinder had a back handle port. I don't know why, but my Hitachi only has then on either side, not the back.

I think the issue with handle placement is the size of the grinder? 4 inches do not have the ability to screw the handle into the back, while 4 1/2 do???

Also Home Depot has a ryobi 4 1/2 for $40.00 that worked out just fine, It came with everything except the cutoff wheel...
