95% of FRC teams should have a set of these and use them often. We had a lot of 1/8th inch 2" x 1" aluminum last year that got cheesed significantly by some of our students that needed something to do.

We always try to come in under weight and adding some lightening holes only helps in a lot of areas of the robot. Cheese early, cheese often.
I just bought that exact set the other day for our team. It was the most reasonable one with a 1 1/8" saw. We were hoping to use it mostly on wood, but since the teeth are HSS, I thought it had potential aluminum use. Does it work well? How many more files will we need to buy to get rid of the burrs? :-P
