    How thick is the copper? 1/8 inch maybe? An ocilating tool would work and you could get flush with the steel plate, it would be way slower than your chopsaw tho. But lees waste. I'm assuming your using a gas powered concrete saw and to be honest that would be the fastest route.

    This is the same model that I have

    1/8 at most, probably a tad bit smaller. There about 1" in diameter but they are almost touching each other so I would be cutting several at one time. I'll take a look at that oscillating saw. Thanks

    I was also thinking about a electric or air powered hammer with a chisel bit.
