Utility Knife Cutter
What is a preferred method for cutting thin sheet metal?
I need to cut many small pieces of sheet metal (maximum finished dimensions roughly 1 by 2 feet).
I’m using copper and aluminum roof flashing, so it’s not particularly thick.
Up to present I’ve been scoring the metal with a sharp box cutter/utility knife, then folding it to break the metal. I’m not happy with how sharp and rough the resulting edges are though. It also dulls knife blades pretty fast.
There’s got to be a better way, I just don’t know what it is. Any suggestions?
Tin snips? Sorry if I’m completely off-base here; I haven’t been in a shop class since the eighties.
