I'm getting ready to start converting my 3 SS Kegs into keggles. I have just started reading various threads about keggle conversions. I plan on ordering the weldless site glass/thermometer combos throug Bobby M and whatever other weldless fittings I can get through him. What I can't get through him I'll get from bargainfittings.com. I'm still not quite sure what direction to go in regards to cutting the tops of the kegs. I found a guy that will cut the tops out with a plasma cutter for $10 each, which seems like a good price. The problem is that I am reading some threads where people have had major issues with slag adhering to the inside of the kegs, the gas discoloring the SS, and rusting issues at the cut line. It sounds like it can be a royal pain in the a$$ to clean up after this, even when water is put in the keg prior to cutting.
I have a little dremmel tool, but in talking to other people....it would eat through 20 of their cutting wheels and take forever to get the job done. My question is....should I invest in a decent angle grinder, build a jig, and use a cutting wheel or just pay to have this guy cut them and deal with the clean up after the fact? Any wise words of wisdom would be great. Thanks!
