    There is a real learning curve to the cutting, I found. Only 10 per
    hour sounds good. My first go at it I went through a dozen and a
    half. When I was doing much of this, I'd order sawblades by the
    gross! The more you cut, the better at it you become. You have to
    learn the right feel to the cutting. I think the blades also wear
    out more quickly on the steel.
