[Towertalk] Metal saw

[mark@concertart.com (Mark Beckwith)]

Hey guys, I got a new digital camera, so I will be posting photos from N5OT
until the novelty wears off.

I recall a discussion a while ago about cutting aluminum.  I had to cut a 3"
x .125" boom this morning, so I shot a photo of the set-up so you can see
the 10" Mikita chop saw with a well used 20 carbide-tooth blade.

The saw is bolted to the bench, and I use a shop-vac to minimize the chips,
then eye and ear protection.

Like butter.
