Cutting Alumamark

[Chris Achtschin]

Thanks for the info, just tried a test piece, I have to cut twice, hard to get it perfect.
The end bends/curls just a bit.
I did find some one local with a laser that can cut but I'd like to do this in-house if I can.
The cut has to be perfect as it will be going on a display plaque.

How I cut 13-1/2" material (btw, do you know anyone with a 'safety saw'?)

Thanks Kev!

Kev,
Why use the known "square piece, why not just butt the ruler to the right edge, is the right edge not perpendicular to the blade?

Hi Chris

I cut aluminium with a skill saw or compound slide saw for shorter cuts. All you need is a decent blade. When doing long cuts you just need a solid straight edge that you can F clamp to the aluminium. A lot of stock I purchase lands in my driveway in huge sheets. I dice it up before it goes onto my stock shelves.
