OK, so I've figured out that 3 ways of cutting the angle iron reinforcement for my table saw fence rails will work OK. And that I can even justify buying another tool to do so! How about coating it to prevent rust? It's kinda dusty right now, leaving black powder on one's hands, so I figure that first I'll have to clean that stuff off. How?
Then, it feels a bit rough, but I can't see how to smooth it without major grinding and polishing. And perfect smoothness really isn't necessary. Should I take a wire wheel to it? Or just clean off the dust (see above), prime, and paint it, using Rustoleum? Powder coating would be nice, but I suspect that might be pricey for a couple 5' lengths of angle iron.
