Whats the best way to cut this stuff? I've been reading up and a few people say a jigsaw and others say a circular saw. Would I need a special metal cutting blade for the circular saw?, I'd like to go down this route as the circular saw would give a straighter cut than my sloppy free hand with the jigsaw :o |

Are they straight cuts? If so, maybe you could take the piece to a local metal shop. I doubt they'd charge you much for a few cuts. |

I'm looking at having to buy a large sheet and cut it into lots of smaller straight sections with angled edges, I think it would work out too costly for them to cut it all. Besides I would like to have a go myself, I just dont want to destroy my circular saw in the process >:D |

With the cuts your doing, sounds like you can take some practice cuts at it. |

If you do use a circular saw, you'll need a metal cutting blade. |
