well trying to make a new shift boot console for my wifes toyota, (do to going to dual case twin stick with a for ward shift transfer case transmission, w54?? ) truck out of 18 gage steel. I found that my reciprocating saw would just grab a hold of the metal and shake it vs cutting it.
It was bending the heck out of my project and this was giving me a really tore up edge.
well I came up with an idea and it worked great.
I drilled a hole bigger then the saw blade, in the work table.
I put the blade down through the hole and just let the back of the blade rest against the side of the hole.
that is just push down on the saw, don't try to push it forward, but rather feed the metal into the saw. It is hard to not push the saw forward as you would usually do.
I could turn the saw and the metal. I could push down just a bit and it cut nice and clean.
so the saw stayed in one place, I could turn it as needed while feeding the metal into the blade.
so there is your, cutting thin metal tech.
