Picked up an attachment for my drill and will do it with that. Hopefully,
I'll be able to get this project done this year.
For any sort of steel cutting my preferred method is to use my 4.5"
hand-grinder with a very thin cutting blade (I think they're 1/8"). It'll cut
thru just about anything including EHS guy cable (very hard) in seconds.
Second is an aggregate steel cutting blade in a Skilsaw/circular
saw and you probably already have one. It's a little awkward at times but
the blade is less than five bucks and again will cut steel quickly.
I'm not sure what drill attachment you are going to use.
Cheers,
