i was wondering if it was possible to make straight cuts in 26 -22 ga
steel (zinc coated and otherwise) with my table saw. i was planning
on
using a 3/4" plywood or mdf sled with toggle clamps as hold down. it
seems kinda obvious that this kind of support would be necessary for
nice clean cuts without bending the crap out of the relatively thin
metal. my question is, is this even possible with ANY blade on a
table
saw? i have NO idea what type of blade would cut the metal safely.
can anyone recommend anything besides shears? i've tried and they
just
didnt cut it.... no pun intended. ok maybe it was. =)
thanks

It is possible to get "Cut Off" blades like angle grinder blades of the
right diamtre for table saws to cut thin metal.
I have used them to cut ColourBond metal fencing sheets (thin like roof
iron) and they work just fine. (Do not know your country).
