![]() Guys, I'm thinking about starting to fabricate the ally paneling for my car and was wondering if the thses air powered shears are any good. Has anybody used them? Is there a better version out there?

![]() waste of time those. they just bend the ali. i did all of mine with 1mm makita ali cutting discs on the angle grinder. they are £15 a pack of 10 at screwfix which seems expensive but is actually pretty cheep as they last for ages. i only used two discs to cut every ali pannel on the car. they go through it like butter and can give a super super straight cut. you can also get round mild corners with them if you are gentle and take your time
i would assume you already have an angle grinder so £15 is pretty cheep compared to £52 for the airsheers that just wrinkle the edge of the ali |

A word of warning here wear a dust mask when grinding or cutting ali as it is very hazardous to your long term health.

![]() Check out Fast tools on the bay. 20 x 115mm ( INOX ) stainless discs for £10.25 post free. Item number: 360182020111. I always use inox as they last longer and cut cleaner on ali.
Merry Christmas and good luck to all car builders ![]()
