I was wondering if you actually did cut metal using jigsaw?
Did ya?

Yes, of course. Many times. In fact, that's pretty much all I use my jigsaw for. See the piano hinge here, http://www.skum.org/bartop/finish.htm, I cut that one with my jigsaw.

A metal cutting blade will be somewhere around 32TPI, I think. Mine isn't handy at the moment, but I'm sure someone else can say for sure.

HACKsaw. Yup, it will work. A piano hinge is practically tin. It'll cut through it like butter. Either will work fine.
