Another trick for cutting aluminum with a circular blade is to reverse the blade. If you don't have a lot of aluminum to cut or the correct blade is unavailable just turn the circular blade over so t

This paper technique is also useful if you have to drill two holes at 180 degrees apart. Simply mark two lines on the paper spaced apart by pi/2 times the diameter. For a 2 inch mast, this would be 1
