It's rated for 22 gauge, pretty light..

What are you guys using to cut your lips? I've used aircraft shears, but would rather use a band saw or jigsaw. Any advice on what kind of blade? And how about punches. Have seen the standard one, but where do you get the oval punch?

I'm just using a pair of offset red wiss snips .. Whenever I need a piece of sand paper for the lathe ,,instead of ripping off a chunk I cut it with these snips .. makes them sharp .. Then I grind out bumps on a white wheel ,in the bench grinder , doesn't get as hot .. I use a Roper Whitney Co . No.5 Jr hand punch ... Mac chased the oval punch down for this tool once but it was very expensive ,, want to say $175.00.. It was a tool place in Stoughton . special order .. I've been bending with hand seamer type vice grips .. Just got a fine wire wheel I put in my drill press .. nice ,, makes everything look Pichney ...

Hey NIB ... Tagger-Man is my ebay name .. are the eyes upon me ?

To cut it i use red snips or the shears.Shape it on the sander or stone.
Drill out hole. dremel to oval.
I like the wire brush idea.I have to try it. I used to sit there an polish em with sandpaper to 1000Somethin grit.Till I could see myself.
