No jigsaw or table saw? Some of those boxes are plastic. I have a black plastic 'Newpoint Switcher 2000 Plus' in front of me right now. is a light colored version on Ebay right now. There are a lot of other brands and models that were sold.

Ok, metalworking guys...



Remember those switch boxes that sat under the monitor (way back last century?) Switches for Computer, Monitor, Printer, Aux, ? Sockets in the back for plugs. They are about a foot square and a couple of inches tall.



I'd like to cut a couple of them in half length-wise to fit under a flat screen monitor.



I'm looking for some odd ideas on how to do that. My bandsaw won't cut steel. All I have that can do that is abrasive cut-off wheels )or maybe a hack saw! shudder).



Kinda sloppy for this I think.



Buy some tin snips, ya goof.

That's a perfect use for a precision lightsaber. Laser OR steel, really.
