Fast, Precision Aluminum Sheet Cuts with a Brake and Olfa knife

[@FuctByTheGovernment]

I use a razor knife, press hard and one pass is all it takes. It takes two half pulls when you bend. If you try in one it will roll your edge.

Another great tip!

Nice brake. Wonder if he made that???

[@x87alpha1]

wouldn't wear the knife after one or two usages?

[@sabercruiser.7053]

Thank you sir 🙏🤲🙌🙌🔥🔥🤌🤌

[@nitin.Dattaram.nare.]

Sir ... please tell ... your sheet thickness

[@RUBENSRANDO]

hello! nice video and helpbuild company! if i can add a little trick to this video. is to insert at the end of the cut, a little piece of. 016 sheet under the piece, just at the final of the piece for cut. this allow to cut quicker, and no matter if the olfa goes out... it rest at the small piece and dont damage the olfa knife. hope help someone. regards. rubens. remachevolador

Will this work on 18 gauge sheet metal?

[@neilfpv]

What if we need to cut curvy shape?

[@HomebuiltHELP]

I have cut out curves. Fist cut is free handed (following trace lines). Then subsequent cuts carefully following groove!

[@darmatm9416]

What kind of cutting knife and blade you used?

[@MatttAt]

It appears to be an Olfa PC-L

Thanks for sharing

[@protustanuhandaru561]

Nice video! Can it also be used to bend the sheet?

[@scatdawg1]

The brake is all that is needed to bend

Any info on the Brake and its construction?

[@HomebuiltHELP]

Here is one set of plans: homebuilthelp.com/Builders%20Links.htm (not the same as Chris')

[@arturobustos4881]

ok

[@SC-fj2zp]

It's not his idea to cut on a break for a straight edge! Siders have been doing this for decades 🤣

[@nerddub]

does that take away from the value? I don't think he claimed to have invented it.....

I've purchased plans to scratch build both the CH701 and CH750 aircraft. www.zenithair.com/stolch701/index1.html www.zenithair.com/stolch750/index.html This year, I've been investing in CNC hobby equipment and got thinking about how to make a CNC laminate cutter for aluminum aircraft parts. I got the idea after watching this video and my Summa D70 vinyl cutter. I'd like to clamp the Olfa laminate blade into a jig and drag it around a CNC path to cut all of my aircraft parts. Call me crazy, but I might be on to something...
