cutting chequer plate.

Jigsaw with metal cutting blade. Turn plate over so the upcut leaves burrs on the rear. Put lots of tallow on the blade before starting to cut and spray Tellus oil/water mix over the plate and cut. Keep dipping the blade in more tallow to stop it clogging. I managed to cut a pair of 4'x4' sheets with one blade this way - and no, it wasn't fer a Landy, it was fer a stage set ;)
 
Take it to a local sheet metal fabricators and get them to guillotine it for you like LL suggested.
Any other method will just look like some amateur has been at it with a angle grinder.

Personally I'm with slob on this one "Drop it in a skip"
 
a used they cuttin rods fur the ark welder, not perfikt but they worked and this wasnt fur ma lightweight it wiz fur ma old mans lorry

unless yer in soft sand narrow tyres are generally better than wide fookers.
on mud or snow they get through to the solid stuff underneath. in rocky places they have less chance of punctures cos they are less likey to hit sharp rocks.

what do you find is best for cutting this? i tried a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade but it clogged up within about 8 inches. used a grinder with a cutting blade and even that seemed to be struggling :confused:

The really best way is to shear it
by Guillotine go to your local engineering
company they will do it for you......

BTW I bought most of my Ali from my local engineering
company for a 1/3 of the price cut to size drilled and
rivited it myself but hey that was my game SheetMetalWorker
many years ago..................
