[QUOTE="atb, post: 74132, member: 1058"] thanks CA, You may be on to something. I am having some post purchase remorse of choosing aluminum. I am sure its user error but like you said I have screwed things up and have numerous pieces of aluminum cut a hair too short, parts that didnt fit right that I have had to drill out a bunch of rivets too fix. The weight I dont know if it is a huge benefit the 1/8 inch plate I bought 2x4 8 sheets weight 112 lbs all the squared tube and angle weighed 60lbs. I am having a hard time getting a clean precise cut. Tried used mitre saw with metal cutting disk left a nasty non squared end, hacksaw cut straightest and cleanest but I may be ready for social security benefits by the time I finish I am only 39, the Sawzall has been the lesser of evils cleaner cut than the mitre with a disk and easiser and faster than the hacksaw. Good luck with your project. [/QUOTE]
