tight curves for the poor
Permalink  
 


For those of us without plasma cutters, this is how I make tight curves in 16 gauge. I'm sure someone will tell me a better way. At least I hope so. I have 2 more to make.  I could use a grinder for the outside curves but what the heck, I'm drilling anyway and I want to be precise.

Well done. The drill bit manufacturers say thank you!

Yeah I go through a few bits. But it works. The other two are almost done. I got lazy and cut the inside straight line with a grinder but still managed a precise cut. I love working with metal. (And wood and plastic and leather)

I put a fine tooth metal blade on my jigsaw and cinch it in my vice.

does a great job at cutting a radius as the blade speed is controllable. 

Made some plates for DRL/FOG lights for my 58.
