Shearing 18 gage stainless

Don - if the number of cuts to be made isn't high, you might look at one
of the 10 in. 'miter' saws with an abrasive disk. These typically require
some work holding means. Especally true to hold the sheet so the .047
dimension is being cut.

An abrasive chop saw would certainly introduce heat discoloration to the
material, but that does bring up the idea of using a wet tile / block
saw with a suitable blade. If it's got continuous water cooling that
should prevent discoloration. Probably can't use the standard tile or
block blades, but a metal blade as typically used on the handheld gas
14" cutoff saws could probably be used.
