Need some metal working expertise. I know there is a simpler way to =
notch metal than what I=E2=80=99m using. I had to fabricate a latch =
thingy for a neighbor using 3/8=E2=80=9D plate which required a =
rectangular notch to be cut in the plate about 3/4=E2=80=9D wide and =
3=E2=80=9D deep. I used a Metabo grinder with a .040 cutting disc to =
cut the sides but how to cut the back end of the notch. I thought about =
a saber saw with a metal blade but the notch was very narrow and it =
would have been difficult in that small area. Guess I could have used a =
hole saw at the back of the notch and then squared up with a file...
I couldn=E2=80=99t reach in the gap with a 4.5=E2=80=9D grinder to hog =
it out... finally I drilled a number of holes across the back line of =
the notch, broke out the slug and finished it with a file to make it =
square. There has to be a better way. Can=E2=80=99t find a hand tool =
to handle 3/8=E2=80=9D material and notching machines aren=E2=80=99t in =
my budget.. =20
give me some suggestions and options or ideas, that haven=E2=80=99t =
dawned on my feeble old brain !
