And not a cordless. Most of them have a short stroke. Que Karl.

Or even just a jig saw with a high quality blade. 1/8” steel cuts like butter with a high quality blade in a good jig saw. Just go slow and steady.
I've never used a cordless but I have a badass Milwaukee with the buzzkill to reduce rattling your arms off. It will still jiggle your boobs pretty good so make sure and wear a ....... well nevermind.ANd not a cordless. Most of them have a short stroke. Que Karl.
Don't expect harbor freight blades to be worth anything, I mean a good blade from Lowe's
I put jigsaw in my vise upside down, two hands on the metal and go to it. Have done it for years. And no chips in the face. I actually made a mount for the saw, works very well.
I am pretty good with the cutoff wheel now.

I had a router table that also could hold a jigsaw upside down. Worked pretty good.

I'm not paying attention it's not a Milwaukee..... skillsaw
Why was I thinking Milwaukee

Lennox and Irwin
The Lennox ones seem expensive but then when you can do a hefty job on one blade it's very reasonable
Problem with a saws all, very tough to cut curves in steel.....

Not with a jig saw, was designed for it.
Agree. I cut some thick stainless with my jug saw. Went thru a few blades but got them cut....
Only 1 Eric in the coffee club
Only one ME in here too
That is very evident...in a good way

I have a Porter Cable 120v that has been a workhorse for me for many years. Also recently got a Milwaukee cordless that I have only used a couple times but I am impressed by it. And would say it is much less of a shaker than others I have used. At work they have 2 Dewalt coldless. I think the old 18 volt shakes less than the new 20 v

Had good luck and reasonable wear with the carbide blades at the rock farm in a sawzall. Great for reaching into awkward places and where slag from the torch was unretrievable. Zips through a bearing race in seconds.

Maybe I’m not buying the right Milwaukee line of blades, but I’ve had terrible luck with them. Usually only last one cutting before the teeth are worn down. Took 3 of them to cut one quarter off the car. These diablo blades cost 3 times that of the Milwaukee’s, but a single blade as cut the entire floor of the dart and the cross member and some 3/4 square tube without any signs of wearing down.

Just doing what I do
I found out today from the people who are departing the company from layoffs and those who remain under consulting contracts that they found out that their emails were being monitored and read by Senior management. They confronted them and were told it was completely justified and appropriate.
Not for me it isn’t.
I sent an email to myself to make quite clear my position on it. If they are reading my emails, they will see it...
“I find it extremely disappointing to learn that company email acccounts are being read by senior management. If I find that my emails are being covertly read, it will be the immediate end of any participation I have with this company.
There will not be a second chance given. It is unacceptable and I will not tolerate it....even once.
This company needs me more than I need them. The sooner they accept that fact, the sooner we can move forward together.
If not, too bad...I’m gone faster than a fart in a Hurricane.”

The carbide grit blades have no teeth. It's like a grinder on a stick. With the long sawzall blade, when one section wears, move to another section.
