There's an adjustment for that on the HFTools sheer...tighten the
bolt/nut in
the center of the blade support in back of the machine to reduce the
amount
of flex in that support.

Harvey,
My paste went missing. My Grizzly Shear Manual states:
For best results, never cut any piece narrower than eight times the
thickness of the material. For example 1?2" strip of .06 mild
steel. So
if I cut down the center of a 2" copper board it may actually work.
I
won't know until I try.
It will. Nothing stops you from taking some 1/4 inch steel plate
and
using it as a clamp to hold the board down. You have to worry about
flex and the board bending and getting caught between the blade and
the shear plate, of course.
