Does anybody know if is it safe to cutoff MJX plate - i found it a bit too long...https://winwingsim.com/view/goods-details.html?id=1125. It is made of high-pressure precision-cast aluminum alloy and i don't know if i can use metal saw to cut it around half of it's length?

Metal saws are capable of cutting metals harder than aluminium, even if it's an aluminium alloy

Whether it's safe? meh, put on a mask if the dust worries you, I'd sooner tell you to take care of any burrs and file off rough edges, because cut aluminum can be razor sharp

ok, thanks

It's cast zinc. (That it what is an almost always meant by "aluminium alloy" - ~90% zinc, ~6% al and WW use that terminology consistently)

It's easy to cut with a hand saw, jigsaw, circular saw, table saw, etc. Avoid breathing in any fine dust from sawing (it isn't toxic but any fine dust in your lungs is too be avoided). No special safety measures are required but try not to blow the accumulated dust around, wipe it up with a damp cloth.
