So anyway. What's the best way to cut this thing? I'm thinking an angle grinder with a cutting disc? yes?

Yeah those old printers are fantastic...

I bought a lock and chain from USA via Europe and it is ranked
"6 hours Plasma Cutter, cvannot be drilled"
Used it to secure many things including Industrial shed door, no-one has scratched it.
Don't have a use for it now but man, did it serve it's purpose!

Our cops have .38 Smith & Wesson revolvers. And they remember what to do with them.
