cutting SS mesh
 

A big sheet of SS mesh found its way into my possession and I was wonder what the easiest way to cut it down into more manageable pieces would be?

I use sheet metal shears

ya I was figuring either sheet metal sheers or a cutting disk on my dremel. Just checking to see what others were using in case they found some off the wall way to do it that work really well.

I used my dremel on mine. Sheet metal cutters would work better, but I didn't have any.

Dremel. But only for lack of metal shears

No Sheet Metal Snips??? :icon_eek::icon_eek::icon_eek:

How can you be a DIY guy without Snippers?

:hihi:

BTW - Dremel tool, best tool purchase I've ever made.

When you cut the SS mesh, are the places where the wire intersects held together, or does the weave have a tendency to fall apart? I used some mesh in the past that just kind of fell apart when I tried to work with it and haven't used any since.

Scissor type metal shears. Try you're best to cut in the middle of the "row" you are cutting. If you bend a few of the short ends that stick out "up" and "down" to lock in the 4 perimeter stands, that can help keep your square from coming apart.

trauma shears cut it like butter

Send it to me, I will send you back and nice small manageable sized little piece:)

I do, stop by if you need them.

Bonsai etc, use and well, many other projects..........

Snips are relatively cheap.

Sheet metal snips like DogFish said
