Going into JLO tomorrow morning....cutting radiator inlets and outlets.

What tools to use?

I have:

1. A nice roller bearing jigsaw

2. An air powered cutoff wheel

3. An air powered hand jigsaw

I plan on using drill bits for making the radius cuts, then using one of the above for the straight cuts.

What type of straight edge have people used? Or is it just "free-hand" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

How about blades?

32 tooth?

Thanks,

Bill P.

I have some of each (32 and 24 I think). There really isn't much difference, they both cut about the same on thin stuff and last about as long. Probably better to use the coarser one for the thicker metal (fenderwells) but if you only have the fine ones they'll work.
