Or better yet,
You can go to Home Despot and let them cut it for you...first two cuts are
free,after that 25 cents a cut. I'm sure other home centers also offer free
cuts. No need to buy torches,or shears or new blades for that cutting. Let
them waste their own blades. And save your equipment...also easier to
transport........
