Carbide drills and saw blades work well if you are going to do a lot of this type
of work.

For fine finishing of rough cut edges on production work, use a torch fed by
hydrogen and oxygen (acetylene will NOT work, too dirty). This makes a very smooth
edge on the material. The torch should move about 1 foot per second.

This material will ignite, but it is not fast burning.
