Snow shovel: Cutting/welding 14 ga sheets of stainless steel

I splurged a little bit and bought some stainless steel sheets.

Challenge #1: Cutting

My main concerns are about cutting stainless as well as bending it.

I have an old Sears tablesaw with motor located away from the blade. Can I use it for once with a abrasive blade, after vacuuming to get rid of wooden dust etc.

Bending, is there anything that I could to to bend a small V in 14 ga sheet. Many possibilities come to mind, but perhaps there is an easy solution of some sort.

Thanks.
