Default Best cutting tool for 10 ga sheet?

Lookingtomake various plates and brackets/braces.

I dont feel the need to spend another $1000 and get a plasma cutter.. So what else works?

I have a jigsaw.. I suppose it should work...Any other ideas?

Sawzall, Fire blade.

Die grinder, carbide laced cutting wheel.

Angle grinder, cutting wheel (or grinding wheel even).

If you mark it up or can make a sketch, you may find a local shop to shear it pretty cheaply...as the labor time is all that you'd be paying for.

Yeah, you could also have them break bend any thing you need at the same time, and won't have to resort to the old vice+hammer way of doing things.
