Hi Dave , this is a zip disc , its just a 1mm thick cutting disc .




They really do zip through sheet metal , I use them to cut up larger sheet material ,there also great for cutting HSS bits and the likes .

Hi Ed , here is the method I use with my 12" (its grown 2") bench shear.



,first cut off the bulk of the waist material .



Like so.



Leaving about a 1/4" .



Then start cutting up to the line and roll the part in the direction of the arrow wile cutting.




Like so.



I moved back to the start of the shear for the photo ,handle was in the way .




Easy

That done the intake and motor mounts were bored on the lathe.






Thats all chaps
