I am hoping for some ideas I hadn't thought of, and I just can't wait for
the tangents some folks will go off on. LOL.

And he steps up to the plate with a whacky idea

I'm not picturing the dimensions well... so a couple ideas. You can get
guides for 4.5 inch angle grinders, like this:

Use a thin cut-off wheel. Or an old Skil saw your not fond of with
an abrasive blade. Might be able to use the rip guide for it too?

Used to have an old Black & Decker circular saw I used for that stuff for
years. I made more roof top satellite dish mounts out of scrap metal with
that thing than I can count. I don't think it ever did die. I think it
just walked off on a jobsite one day. I'm pretty sure even a 7-1/4 abrasive
blade won't work on the base, but it might reach on the column and table.
If only I had an old *14 inch* Skil saw I'm not fond of with an abrasive
blade. LOL.

I'm down to just two circular saws now. A Ryobi that's mounted on a panel
cutting guide, and a Skil worm drive. Sadly I don't want to blow grit and
sparks through either one. Might have to go see if I can find one of those
29.95 dollar Black & Decker saws we used get at K-Mart. LOL. It might do
part of the job.
