  6. ?'s about cutting .060 aluminum with utility knife...

    The only problem with using a saw blade is it leaves a ragged edge that will be all burrs. Then you have to file it somehow to remove the burrs. The util knife method works so well that this technique is all we used for years at a metal shop years ago. The initial bend is the most difficult...
