MoparX I use Lenox blades. They are USA made for sure and IIRC, have 18 TPI and are for thick metal. I've tried the fine teeth thin metal blades and the blade loiters in one spot for the whole day. LOL. The plate there was 5/16th thick, a hair tad thicker than a stock shock plate for safer use and it was lighter by half a pound at the end. To make about 5-6 cuts, I went through about three blades. All tools including the drill bits have to be super sharp and oil cooled as you cut. I used less coolant on the hacksaw cuts though.
Yes I can now arm wrestle Dwayne Johnson with my eyes closed.
