It's 1/8in plate, dull and greasy, probably 304. I buggered the
bandsaw blade, then two "hardened carbide, blah, blah" jig saw blades,
a file, a diamond file, then got a beefy angle grinder and gouged
grooves in it and forced it through what was left of the bandsaw metal
blade, dressed it fairly straight with the grinder and ground it to
shape on a big bench sander with gnarly grit paper. This took several
frustrating hours. There was course language and graphic violence. It
won't fit in the power hacksaw because of it's initial shape. Is there
an easier way? We don't have a pneumatic metal stamper, cutter, shear
thing locally. Thanks as always.
