Hi all, I've got some stainless steel sheet that's 2mm thick, I wanted to cut it down into a bracket to hold my induction kit in place so I don't ruin another filter I'm just wondering how others have managed to cut it down into shape? I have a set of quite heavy duty snips I've used for cutting sheets of aluminium this sort of thickness, how ever they never really leave a perfect finish as such. And wasn't sure how they would be on stainless steel sheets Thanks Chris
angle grinder and a thin cutting disc.. or plasma cutter but its not a everyday diyers item..just sold mine.. snips will not cut it well or tidy..
+1 for 1mm cutting disk. Get your self a flapper disk at the same time. they clean up the edges & round the corners much neater than a traditional grinding disk. Stainless can be tricky to drill as well, you'll just blunt/burn the bit if your not careful (even with thin stuff) so if you need any bolt holes etc make sure you have a couple of sharp drill bits.
Thanks for your input guys. I've got hold of a thin cutting disc so guna try have a bash at it tomorrow
