    I use my angle grinder with a metal disk blade (no teeth) that has diamond coating on the edge for cutting--- lasts a lot longer than the cheaper disks and safer. Anyway, I can cut shapes with an angle grinder if needed, or just straight. This method with the skill saw looks faster and straighter. I've seen people on job sites use this trick for cutting wrong materials before.
    Nice video.

    Dude, thanks for the video. You sure got a smooth cut on that corrugated metal. I have found, however, that cutting steel seamless roofing with the saw blade in the normal position is much smoother and with less shrapnel. I tried it both ways recently using an old carbide-tipped 40 tooth blade and I'm sticking with the blade-forward method (rather than backward​). "Different strokes...", as they say. ;)

    Edit: Sabre saw, use lipstick on edges of the electrical outlet or light switch box, push the panel into place and it will rough-mark it out from behind. Use a felt tip marker, again from behind to draw the lines to be cut. Voila.
