Onoff Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 My brother seems to think this will cut thin, circa 1mm, copper sheet: https://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-emcs650-650w-85mm-electric-mini-circular-saw-220-240v/906fx ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Probably but only 24 teeth, should be nearer 24 tpi, should be more. How much sheet are you cutting?, can you not use tin snips (much cheaper) or a Nibbler? I have used an angle grinder with metal blade but not a very clean cut but can be cleaned up with a file.

Russell griffiths Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I just bought a metal cutting blade for my circular saw thin cut, no offset to the teeth. Goggles and full face cover it’s savage. Lovely clean finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnb Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 How much copper sheet? I too would be using tin snips or a nibbler unless there were several miles of cut. Or if it were small enough I would take it in to work (when I'm next allowed to attend!) and use the guillotine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, late responding. He's into coppersmithing. Things like making leaves, bookmarks, rheumatism bracelets. I suggested he buy some super expensive jeweller's scissors from the States.

I reckon these would be ideal: https://www.amazon.com/Narrow-Scissors-Cutting-Jewelry-Cutters/dp/B06XJ9HWPZ Couldn't find them in the UK though.

That would certainly cut much thicker copper... Then chew it up and throw it across the room :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
