Are there any better options? -- http://www.ernest.isa-geek.org/ "Ignorance is mankinds normal state, alleviated by information and experience." Veeduber Veedubber, One of the easiest ways to cut sheet 4130 is with a band saw. Use an old metal cutting blade installed upside down (the teeth pointing up). Run the saw at normal speed and feed in the material. Keep the pressure up and it will go (melt) through like you are cutting butter. Don't pause though, it is not so easy to get started again. Some have also used the back side of the blade for this purpose with success. O-ring Seals
