Jez Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 No it nearly broke when i put two pieces of card through it.

britainswomble Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I can get some Ben... you buy the machine... I supply the metal mate.... I reckon some real thin ali will be just the job What about drinks cans as a supply of sheet aluminium. Watch yer fingies on it though....cos it dont arf cut. Cutting it without wrinkling the edge might be a problem so I would suggest a paper guillotine. The type with the long arm would be better than the wheel type. Er....jus tryin to be elpful.
