FISH!!

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

If you use a carbide bit to cut it cleanly. The layer is very thin, and most chrome is also very hard. Carbide is slightly harder though.

Yes, send it to me. Only two possibilities; it will be fine, or it will be a tent stake.
