OK Mark, Sure, but the difference in cost is
enormous and mechanisation in the form of bandsaw or jigsaw is not as accurate
as a draw tool used manually.
Any more
suggestions from anyone in an inventive frame of mind?
This could be a real big issue.

How about a bandsaw with a metal cutting blade
or a jig saw?

For general information.
The draw tool.
This sheet
cutting tool has been used for many, many years with
success. Probably
from the early 19th C or possibly
earlier.
If you clamp the sheet firmly along the edge of a bench or
table with a
steel ruler along the line you wish to cut with a little effort
you will
have a clean score line which will break easily without
warping.
Score both sides of the plate.
Hope Aslan manages to overcome his
problem.
