Veedubber,

One of the easiest ways to cut sheet 4130 is with a band saw. Use an
old metal cutting blade installed upside down (the teeth pointing up).
Run the saw at normal speed and feed in the material. Keep the
pressure up and it will go (melt) through like you are cutting butter.
Don't pause though, it is not so easy to get started again. Some have
also used the back side of the blade for this purpose with success.
