"Harold E. Keeney (Hal)" wrote: I use those thin cut-off wheels for zinc and brass They work great! But when it comes to lead---- I'm still deforming the lead no matter what I use, including the lead knife. Especially when cutting an angle greater than 45 degrees. Suggestions? Hal I recently got a lead cutter from DTI that uses a single edge razor blade as the cutter. It works like a guillotine, has an adjustable fence to set to your required angle, and a stop to make identical pieces. I've only tested it on a couple of things, but it cut the lead at up to a 60* angle with no deforming. |
