Anybody cut a bat open?

[Westwind]

I have two Ghosts in my shed that are broken and out of warranty. Probably ought to keep one whole.

Anybody ever have the urge to cut one open? How would you do it? What tools?

I have a corded grinder, not sure if a cutting wheel would do it.

@CoreSoftball20 wanted to make sure you saw this, ever do anything like this?

Pneumatic die grinder with a thin cutoff wheel would cut through one like warm butter!

Wear a mask. The carbon dust is bad on lungs. It goes in and won't come out.

I've been debating on posting up on how to identify a fractured bat (not obvious damage stuff just the type we see on the site all the time) and why it's hard to determine because of the manufacturing method and type of failures the bat can sustain.

Dead- no pop vs. Fractured whats the difference between the two. Show me pictures with explanations of what's going on.

Ply separation vs. Superficial surface ply issues, paint scrapes, crazing, or isolated damage. Basic home testing for the DFP peeps.

Band saw? Agree on mask.... ventilator would be even better.

Maybe I’m not so hip on this idea!

I hate the idea of breathing any kind of dust etc. I have some N95’s but....

Put it in a vice and use a hacksaw.

Hack saw and spray water to keep the dust down.

... and eye protection of course.

Ginzu knife from the 80's if you can find one laying around. Will make a smooth clean cut and still slice your tomatoes with ease. No dust and no eye protection needed. You're welcome
