Hi again,

Thanks everyone for your ideas, all of which are noted. The
sheet I sawed-up, to make some spacers for my garage door, was
scrap #10 gauge aluminium scavenged from old surplus gear. It was
just that I never seemed able to cut a straight line and wanted
to tap into the wealth of metal-working experience in the group
out there.

Hopefully I will do better next time by following your
suggestions.

Joe,
I've found a lot of the "Hack" saw's that are availble today are pieces
of crap and won't cut a straight line. You might want to check and see
if that's your problem. I bought a good one with a solid frame, I can't
remember the name right now and it's packed from moving. Alos get a good
blade like a Lenox or similar brand.
