I was looking for pics of a boat cutting saw (for vash's shotgun/toenail thread). That's what came up.

The ship was sawed in 8 or 9 pieces with a diamond coated cable, a boat cutting saw as it were.

A little help?

They all look to be of Asian descent, and appears to be in an underground structure/tunnel.

I read that the cutting wire was actually able to cut through the engine, also.

i would expect them to be able too, shipping engines aren't exactly made of titanium or hardened/forged steel
they are way to big, so i would think they are mostly cast alloy or iron..

Tho even so , I kinda would expect them to cut around em, since that's just quicker..

Like butter.
The propellor shaft was an entirely different matter!!
That was a tough cookie to cut and did take more time than expected.

There is no avoiding difficult or hard bits. Once the cable is in position, you get one cut, straight upwards.

Aah, the memories.
I was on the platform with the yellow banana shaped structure. (the ‘stinger’ which is used to position the drilling rods and bit next to the wreck to commence drilling)

If I find the time, I’ll try and look up some pics I think I still have on a memory stick somewhere.

So it isn't like a band saw?
