No, wait... sadness?

Do you know anyone with a sheet metal shear? I used that in the past, although the glass fiber is a bit hard on the shear. On the other hand, there is a lot less fiberglass/copper/plastic dust than a saw or router bit. Harbor Freight has a small 30" shear that should be big enough for 15" panels. It is a few hundred dollars to buy it, however. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=5907
If you are intent on sawing, how about a Dremel cutoff disk? That should be low-cost. Wear a dust mask, though. Girvin _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
