Re: [ATM] Slitting metal

[David Wilbur <david.wilbur@tufts.edu>]

The best way to cut the sheet metal is a sheet metal shear.  Using a 
paper cutter for stainless is likely to be pretty hard on the paper 
cutting blade.  Judging from your signature, you work at a college.  
There is likely a machine shop somewhere on campus.  Find out who runs 
it, and go see him.  If your campus is anything like mine, informal 
arrangements for access are often possible.  Good luck
