Well, I just called and cancelled the order I placed today. Dan came home from work and we talked about it, and the one he had and took back was essentially the same thing, but from Sears. He said he tried cutting boxing plates for his frame with it and felt like it was going to kick back into his face any second..........his words," it was an accident looking for a place to happen. " It may be fine for wood and thin metal, but not 3/16, he feels. He said it also threw pieces of cut off steel like no tomorrow.

Since I am pretty Klutsy anyway and need all my fingers, I decided to not take the chance. Luckily, they were able to cancel the order. I guess we will be using a cut off wheel on a disc grinder to do it, with a guide to keep the cut straight.

On to plan B.
