Earnie - can you tell me about saw blade again?

The Tenryu is the most common, and can be mail-orderd from www.mytoolstore.com/ The Morse Metal-Devil is available many places. Do a google search. Ernie and all, Any chance these type of blades would cut 1/2 thick sheet steel? I'm building an odd Box (26*26*11) out of 1/2 sheet steel, Its mostly welded together, but 2 of the 4 side walls I inadvertantly "Cut on the wrong side of the line" with the cuttin torch, and there a little tall. Hand Grinding doesn't sound like a lot of fun, but running a skill saw down the two sides sounds simple enough!

Just don't get in a hurry, and don't cut too close to the edge that you flame cut. Flame cutting creates an extremely hard edge, that is very unkind to cutting tools and shears. |
