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.

Looks like problem solved before I start. :) One time I was using the sheer and I got my finger under a part of the auto hold down bar. I started to step on the pedal and I actually started to smash my finger. Lucky I wasn't doing the STOMP method on that cut. I learned a valuable lesson that day. More than one I guess. You want to be the only one using the machine by yourself (unless you are cutting 4x8 sheets). I would hate to have my wife helping and smash her finger, or anyone else for that matter.
