    I guess that I just need to try the jigsaw. It is just that I have never cut "metal" with anything besides a torch. Hard to believe that it can be done with relative ease.

    We all have said try it 1st on something else as for a beginner with new tools they might think something else.

    using a Drimel you can use the Cut off disk and get some nice cuts but it will take longer to do. If the wheel grabs and you hand swings across the case because of that .. you now have a scrach to patch up that you made.

    Remimber there are lots of tools that can do the same Job, its just taking your time and let it cut the metal and dont force it.

    case I did last year.

    That was done with a dremel and the cut off wheels.
