i think i know what you mean.

ok, so, normally, you mark out a line, then cut, you can see what you are taking away, but when doing this, how can i keep everything even and symmetrical? i can see it ending up wonky and wavy. part of the problem is, i am working off a cheap workmate with a vice bolted onto it, not a big...

thanks guys, that's all a massive help, i have sent an e-mail to tuff saws for info on what blade to use and prices. for the small cuts inward to remove the long bits that i am taking away, i'll just use a hand saw, it's easy on those bits. i won't be turning the arms unfortunately as i don't...
