Ok can i disagree with this then.
Straight through cutting is not the best way to remove sections because;
- The unknowns, where its going to rip, how far its going to rip, how well attached it is.
- Very importantly, it is unknown how much extra weight it adds to the lift and when the piece will release.
- Also this adds to the chance of the crane driver slewing or lifting out of line and the piece swinging into the boom or climber or what ever.
