Can drill replace reciprocal saw

metalmetal-cutting

I need to cut some metal fence, and I don't have a reciprocal saw. I've included a picture of the fence to give you an idea of its thickness. Essentially, I'll be cutting the rail off the post. The area where I want to cut is approximately 1"x2".

Is there something for the drill that can replace the reciprocal saw for this type of job?

Thanks.

No, there isn't really a drill accessory made that will make that job easy. I wouldn't bother with any cutoff or grinder wheel. It would take a very long time and would chatter and bounce around a lot.

Beg or borrow an electric saw, or use an abrasive circular saw blade, or use a basic hacksaw. You'll probably want an angle grinder to flatten the cut, and you could actually use the grinder to make the cut.

The long and the short of it is that a drill isn't your huckleberry.
