This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Thermal image of cutting a metal bar with a hacksaw (media.piefed.social)

The bar is clamped in a metal vise, so the vise is very slightly heated and that side of the bar is much cooler.

I just finished cutting some 1/8" aluminum panels with an angle grinder and can attest to how hot metal gets when cutting. I kept forgetting where would be hot and got a nice burn across my arm to show for it.
