shearing copper sheet
shearing copper sheet
(OP)
i am planning on ordering a 1/2 hard 110 copper .025" thick sheet (20" x 25"). i need to sheer (6) pieces that are 3-1/2" x 6" rectangles. i have never worked with copper before and i don't know if i'm going to run into problems with the edges after i shear the pieces because i will not have any left over material. we do have a 10' shear rated for 3/16" capacity. does anyone have any advice that will make me more comfortable in shearing the copper?
