I've been asked to cut down some brackets. They are a thin bent type.
They asked as a milling job, but I am concerned about rigidity problems and workholding with the thin metal. Has anyone done something like this? He wants the short tabs made shorter, to about 0.100". I'm tempted to just fire up the belt grinder and go to town on them. Also considered Dremmel cutting discs, bandsaw (I think it's too thin), and plasma. Any other options I could consider?

BILLY galvanised, Corner fittings. It is estimated that every five seconds, one BILLY bookcase is sold somewhere in the world. Pretty impressive considering we launched BILLY in 1979. It’s the booklovers choice that never goes out of style.
