Suspended Ceiling and Duct Conflict

I'm going to do the next cross T with the cutoff and see how it goes.

A couple saw horses and a 2x4, 2x6 whatever you have, after cutting the rib at the top to desired depth, lay the piece on the edge of the board clamp it just beyond your cut on each end.

That should give you both hands to run the cutter accurately. Should turn out nice a clean.
