Fast, Precision Aluminum Sheet Cuts with a Brake and Olfa knife
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- A unique technique provides fast, precise cuts in aluminum sheet using both an Olfa knife and a bending brake. Scratch builders of metal aircraft require these aluminum part blanks for fabricating their aircraft.
Another great tip!
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.
Thank you sir 🙏🤲🙌🙌🔥🔥🤌🤌
Thanks for sharing
Nice brake. Wonder if he made that???
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?
wouldn't wear the knife after one or two usages?
Sir ... please tell ... your sheet thickness
What kind of cutting knife and blade you used?
It appears to be an Olfa PC-L
What if we need to cut curvy shape?
I have cut out curves. Fist cut is free handed (following trace lines). Then subsequent cuts carefully following groove!
Nice video! Can it also be used to bend the sheet?
The brake is all that is needed to bend
Any info on the Brake and its construction?
Here is one set of plans: homebuilthelp.com/Builders%20Links.htm (not the same as Chris')
Can't find this at Olfa site or at 5 others. closest I could come was at Sears but not exactly the same.

thanks champ
It's not his idea to cut on a break for a straight edge! Siders have been doing this for decades 🤣
does that take away from the value? I don't think he claimed to have invented it.....
ok
I've purchased plans to scratch build both the CH701 and CH750 aircraft.

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...
