cutting sheet metal
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 handsome greg |
