What happens here
Use an angle grinder with a cutting disc to make the initial straight cuts on the diamond plate. For curved sections, switch to a Milwaukee Hackzall with a metal cutting blade, which the host notes cuts 'like a hot knife through butter'. Safety glasses are essential during this step to protect against metal debris. The cutting process may require multiple battery changes for the tools.
Goal: Cut the diamond plate aluminum to the traced floor mat shapes.
