Re: [FTC]: Cutting Tetrix Metal

On the contrary, we find cutting the parts makes some useful structures that Pitsco doesn't offer. A table saw with a tungsten-carbide blade can turn that c-channel into angles and flat plates. I recommend that this should only be tried by someone with a lot of table saw experience.
