What I mean is if you are cutting it on the short edge. Clearly if you are cutting through a thicker piece through the thickness it will take longer but say you have 2 pieces of metal 5 inches wide. One is 1/4" thick and the other is 1/2" thick. But if you cut along the 5" width it should take the same amount of time to cut and it doesn't. The thicker piece will take longer. This is all given using the same tool to do the cut.
It just doesn't equate for me. Equal length strokes should remove equal amounts of material. But it appears to not be the case. Anyone have an explanation for my challenged mind?
