Cutting off body parts (Freelander 2)

Depending on what elements are being connected, different tools can be used to cut/separate body parts.

Milling of spot welds

NOTE: All other components such as interior fittings, window glass, etc. should be protected from flying sparks.

NOTE: Make sure the routing depth is set correctly to prevent weakening the remaining flange.

End grinder

NOTE: Wear protective clothing. Protect all vulnerable body parts and glass from flying sparks. Remove explosive materials from adjacent areas.

All spot welds that are not accessible for milling (diameter > 8 mm) must be milled using a face (rod) abrasive wheel. The same applies to spot and regular welds made using MIA technology.

Short stroke saw

NOTE: The underlying metal parts, wiring harnesses, hoses, etc. must not be damaged - remove them in advance if necessary.

Bodywork saws are versatile and therefore well suited for cutting bodywork components.

Reciprocating saw

In addition to the short stroke saw, a reciprocating saw can also be used. It can be used to make narrow and straight cuts to a precise depth.
