I=E2=80=99ve used a cutoff wheel in my Dremel before for smaller cuts, =
finishing the corners with a jigsaw. 3/4=E2=80=9D is pretty narrow and =
you might have to cut from both sides to get all the way through, but =
the jigsaw cleanup should be pretty easy after that. Most Dremel =
cutoffs I=E2=80=99ve tried are crap that break way too easily, but =
I=E2=80=99ve had good luck with the EZ Lock wheels. =
