Not with slats on either side. Nope . Try itFirst of all, I saw no rebar in the image you posted, and second is that you do not cut rebar with the masonry blade.
Typically you use a rebar cutter, which is a shear, or you use a steel cutting blade in a grinder, sawsall, or even just bend it back and forth a few times to make it break.
People do this all the time when they modify plumbing in existing locations, such as a water main leaking under a drive way. This is trivial. Your mistake is trying to imagine one tool doing it all. You switch for what is appropriate.
You didn't see the rebar because their number and placement inside the bollard is classified....duh. Jesus.....the claim is it was done by one "hundred dollar tool you can find in any hardware store"....I asked to show me the tool and the hole in the wall PERIOD.
That is impossible.
I saw the inside of the bollard that was cut.
If there was rebar, I would have seen the cut ends.
I saw no rebar, and that has nothing to do with whether or not it was classified.
And yes, a $100 tool could easily cut through such thin steel.
If the slats are close together, then you use a skinny sawsall instead of a circular grinder.
