It is very controllable as you can use both hands to move and hold the material.
Great info, thanks. Last question -- How will you go about cutting the holes out for the tranny? Ive always wondered, do you maybe drill a couple holes and then fit the saw blade through the holes and tension it up and then proceed to cut? Or is there a much easier way?
