    Question Aluminium Cutting

    Does anyone here cut their own sublimation aluminium sheet?

    I notice that it is vastly cheaper to buy, for example, a 610 sheet and cut into smaller panels than to buy those smaller sizes.

    If so, what are using to cut it with?

    To get the smooth, wrinkle-free cuts you need you'd probably need a CNC machine.

    We have a lever metal guillotine, as well as a 24"shear/brake/roll we use for cutting aluminium.
