Wow, now that's some experiences with Ti! Wish I had some equipment like that, but alas, my cut off saw is as whimpy as my band saw. I cut off another slice though. Did it with the band saw, which is a small one, as it only can handle a 1/2" blade. Went through three bimetal blades to do it. I may have gottten a good deal on the Ti, but the cost of cutting is sure running up the tab. I worry for the little 1/3 hp motor on the saw too. After this knife project for my Dad, I'm not sure I'll be doing much with the stuff, simply because of lack of proper equipment resources.
