I have a Dremel tool...and am attempting a project that entails cutting off the hand rails of Williams diesel engines. I want to replace the stamped metal hand rails with round wire. What would be the best cutting tool that would cut through the Williams stamped metal?

I prefer the "GYROS" brand of larger diameter Fiber Discs (2" did.,1/8" Hole, 1/32" Thick).
But for removal of lots of metal, or "heavy duty" cutting jobs, I have a few different Carbide Cutters, for my Dremel, and they go thru diecast pretty much like cutting cheese.
Thanks for your reply Hot Water,
My concern is if the fiber wheel would cut through the stamped (steel) that Williams uses...it appears to be fairly tough. Using a saw would take forever and would be very "clumsy"!
I like the Dremel quick change ezlock cutting wheels the best. Here's a sample from Home Depot.

I have an old Dremel and use the 409 15/16" Cutting Wheels for most applications. Doubling them up helps. Check the Dremel website for recommendations.
Always wear eye protection.

The cut-off wheel cuts only along its edge. Do not attempt to sand or cut curved holes with them.
Secure objects to a stable surface while working.
Hold the tool so that the wheel is at a perpendicular angle to the material being cut.
Keep a light touch, as the wheel will break under too much pressure. If chattering occurs, increase speed.
