I got a nice piece of SS at a local scrap place that was labeled (in ball point pen) "316". It's 11"x20" and .048" thick. I live in an area with very little industry and have been having a hard time locating anyone with a press break (big shear).
I thought I'd give it a go with my jig saw and a nice new Bosch blade, made for metal. I melted one and wore the teeth off of the second one in about an inch! This stuff is really tough! To cut out the plates I want out of this sheet, I would need to cut about 120" at least. The jig saw is out unless there are some "magic" blades out there.
Any suggestions???
