Re: Alternatives to metal shear


 

I have access to a large industrial shear that I use to cut larger pieces
of mostly .040 aluminum. For cutting on a table saw I like to sandwich the
aluminum between pieces of scrap wood or plywood. A couple of reasons for
this are #1 safety and #2 a cleaner cut that requires little to no filing.
Always wear safety glasses and I also use leather gloves.
