You've got me thinking here! Is that wire the same that Remington developed 
for hacksaws some decades back? What is the diameter and where did you 
locate it? I have several aluminum hot wire frames, 2'Long to 8'Long and the 
thought of a battery operated bandsaw type frame 6-8 feet long might be fun 
to play with. This will of course add a year or two to the present plane 
projects!!!
