Shaunfishon Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 You can use a 4" cut off wheel with a grinder or metal blade in your Reciprocating Saw. That would be your cheapest bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffmeister Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 use a rodman nibbler! no joke, very clean controlable cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh ok Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Easiest thing if you don't have fancy tools, although they do make life so much easier and luckily I have access to everything suggested from working in a body shop, I'm sure you have access to a regular old circular saw. Grab a metal cutting blade and go to town. I have done it in extreme pinches and cuts straight lines very simple. Blade was like $20. For rounded cuts, generic jig saw with metal blades. If you go jig saw route buy multiple blades. They break and grinds production to a halt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
