In early February I posted this cry for help over in the Metalworking forum, thinking that was the most appropriate place:
A rectangular fragment of a saw plate floating around in my shop was intended as a scraper. It turned out to be perfect to use to extend a saw kerf into the pin boards in half-blind dovetails. I was delighted that the rectangle is exactly the thickness I need for the task (0.025”), so it is in use. But it’s about an inch wider than it needs to be. I’d like to trim it down to make a more elegant tool.
I cut wood. I’m out of my depth when faced with cleanly cutting a tool steel plate along a straight line. What are some options I might already have in my shop?
I don’t have a dedicated metal grinder, but I have a Dremel, cordless drill, and drill press.
Five weeks and not one response. And it's still in the top three threads.
