SAWING a 1000oz silver bar IN HALF!!

[@BullionNow]

Got your ear muffs? We try cutting a GIANT 1000oz pure solid silver bullion bar in half. Why? Because its ours and we can do what you want with it! Plus we promised we would.... and a promise made is a promise kept. Did it work? There's only one way to find out! Don't forget... you can buy your favourite gold and silver bullion from your favourite bullion dealer at www.bullionnow.com.au/store

[@silverslave333]

Next time get your bars from China they are much easier to cut

[@ComstockRoyalty]

I like good creative silver fun. 👍

[@silvertaniwha1314]

Can I suggest maybe having that 1000oz bar melted down to make your very own BULLION NOW 1oz silver bars/rounds..... THAT WOULD BE TRULY EPIC AND ID BE DOING ALL I CAN TO GET MY HANDS ON AT LEAST ONE OR TWO OF THEM

[@livingadamman7994]

You should have taken it to a machine shop and had it laser cut, and then it would look awesome, this was a bad hack job but good entertainment none the less.

[@KourZ_13]

Cut one up like a loaf of bread

Still not as tough to cut into as my mum's meatloaf...

Never seen someone cut a $34,000 bar in half before. Very entertaining and it did prove that is 99.99% pure silver. You should get thousands of likes for this video, thanks.

[@carl3810]

Wait so it's not ?.999 missed that

[@_Mikekkk]

To prove it is 99.99 silver normal people use ultrasound device, stupid people cut it in half and prove purity only on the cut surface. So dumb.

[@Firedrop2]

@@_Mikekkk you can't use electronics to see through a really thick silver bar, that only works for thin bars.. the only way to prove it's real is to melt it, drill it, or chop it up

[@_Mikekkk]

@@Firedrop2 You can use ultrasound to see trough very thick bars. Even get a detailed picture what is inside. And knowing speed of sound inside pure silver you can measure the thickness, and if there is difference you know if it is real silver or not. No need to drill, melt, etc.

[@coreybikes]

How many ozt in shavings did you loose? What does each half weigh now? Future video?

[@oxarplatt]

I bet at least 1-3 oz's.

[@oxarplatt]

especially considering the blades thickness. Usually people use an ultra fine band saw, which gives off much finer filings.

[@my3dviews]

You can melt down the shavings into a small bar. So, nothing would be lost. He said in another comment that it was almost 10 oz (300g).

[@sevenbullsinc]

Dude is like "we are getting through it?". While he's doing all the work.

[@jfree9951]

Maybe you could loan your saw to someone you know who got a China 1000 oz bar? That's where I'd half expect to see the saw slow down on a rod of Swedish steel or a stack of welding rods. The Chinese went through the fake Gold Bullion debacle last year. Did you get a bar marked CHINA? I have seen posts that some have received China bars from Perth Mint.

[@VerifyVeracity]

I did not fall for the chain saw for a second, just did not make any scene, but of course I've worked with chain saw & reciprocating saw a lot, in my 60 years of life on earth. Now are you going to melt it down a do some pouring of smaller bars? And I know you know you could just drill it out, test, melt it then pour it back in the hole. Something like that anyways. Thanks for the video.

[@BullionNow]

We answer that question in this latest video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6fRZ3SbeLOaeac

[@darkoangelo]

[@melbournestacker]

I use reciprocating saws everyday at work, if you use the foot on the saw to brace against the item your cutting it goes much faster and less vibration, also a thick metal blade.

[@geoffwaterman6560]

As a tradie my friend you make an excellent Bullion dealer. How can you butcher a silver bullion bar like that? Michael I have a metal cutting band saw at home and I've often thought of making a jig to accurately slice up thousand ounce bars so that the sawn edges can be polished to be exactly 100 ounces each. Then you just melt the waste into a couple of small bars without wasting any. Not a bad way to avoid the small bar Premium
