I do wish the list admins would change the default reply-to to be the =
list rather than the individual. To me that's much more in keeping with =

A bow saw or other saw with hook or skip teeth rather than chipping =

slice rather than chip.=20

Yesterday I saw some long sharp landscaping blades which might work, but =

spending that much $ on a unitasker. We do have a machine shop but none =
of those shop captains have a solution. I've seen lots of videos where =
the roll spins and all manner of things are used to cut it, but we don't =
have a way to spin it so the saw needs to be the moving part. I may give =
a fine toothed sawzall a shot and see how badly it tears the weave. =
There is a cement blade for it, but that's abrasive rather than slicing.=20=
