That's because "soldier" doesn't melt. Solder does.

I REALLY need help. I burned out all my sawzall blades on this cast-iron pipe, and I've barely scratched it. How many blades will I burn thru before I cut thru this stuff?

Well that depends, I hope you are using the wood and nail blades. Those corse teeth really tear though that cast iron. The teeth on a metal blade are too small for cast iron.

Yes they do. Ever melt a green army man when you were a kid?

They will melt when our military gets the lasers that we are mounting on some of their vehicles going.
