Hi, all:

I would like to build a stained glass window using zinc Colonial came.
This came has a cross section like a double-headed arrow as illustrated

Where one came joins another at an angle, it's recommended that its end
be "notched" in order to accomodate the shape of the joint more
closely.

from dim recollection zinc, lead and aluminium are types of
hardwood.:-)

why couldnt you make the cuts on a bandsaw?

if putting metal through a woodworking bandsaw offends the
sensibilities then paint it brown and pretend it is a piece of
hardwood you are cutting. the saw wont know the difference.

it works. the good thing is that the blades get replaced with new
sharp ones a little more often. ...as you'd expect cutting hardwood
:-)
