How to cut metal casing?

I have 20+ brass I need to cut in half approximately 10cm length and 2cm diameter. 

Would I use a grinder or does Bunnings offer a service for this?

Hi @Steve93,

 

Thank you for your question about cutting metal casings and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you join us.

 

Unfortunately, Bunnings do not cut metal for our customers.

 

You will have to grab an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel.

 

Remember to wear all relevant personal protective equipment including gloves, ear protection, eye protection, a mask and long protective clothing.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Afternoon @Steve93 

If its only one you could use a hacksaw as well, brass is resonable easy to cut as its fairly soft. Otherwise as @JacobZ has suggested a thin cutting disk on a grinder, plus vice as it will get hot.
