Metal Cutting

[StellaD]

Does anyone use anything like this for cutting down sub metal sheets, primarily 0.5mm?

Looking into the possibility of buying in larger sheets and cutting down to A4 and smaller as it would seem to be a money saver but wondering if the edges are cut neatly enough for re-sale.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I purchased one of these:

Good finish on one edge and does not curl the material. Not used mine for years but seem to remember that the finish on the waste edge is not good so you can't just cut one sheet into 4 pieces, additional trim cuts are required. At the end of the day you are probably better off having a chat with subli metals !. PS Needs bolting to a bench.

Thanks for the post.

The one in the picture is actually around half the price and cuts a longer length but I take on board your thoughts although Sublimetals are very expensive.

Any other replies welcome.

I believe Sublimetals use CNC machines for cutting.
