Cutting Copper Sheet With A Torch

Take your time and let the cutter work its way through the copper for a straighter and even cut.
Cutting copper sheet with a torch. Begin cut with metal cutting sheer. Work gloves must be worn during the cutting process as the cutting edge of the copper is very sharp. For thicker copper sheet you would want to use a jewelry saw it s a bit slower but gives you a nicer finished cutting edge. Elevate and support one edge of sheet with free hand allowing entry point for cut enough clearance for metal cutting sheer to proceed.
The sheers handles are brought together to cut through the sheet. Mark the required dimensions on the surface of the sheet using marking tool and straightedge. They look like big scissors and work the same way. For higher gauges meaning thinner copper you can easily do it with standard hardware store metal snips.
Cutting your own copper shapes can be easier than you think. Measure the dimensions needed with tape measure.
