aluminum cutting question [TANKS]

["Chrysanthos Kanellopoulos" <xchrysk-at-otenet.gr>]

May I ask how much you've paid for 1/2 inch aluminum plate per square meter? or you can get it for free?  It might be worth trying to draw cad drawings of the plates and have the shapes cut perfectly on laser or hydrojet (teh latter is costly). What tank are you building?

Can I cut ½” thick aluminum plate with a saber saw (aka jigsaw) ? Or, is that asking too much of the saw ?

 

            Thanks,
