AM,
correct and Scotch Brite is aluminum oxide bonded to the coarse entanglement fiber that makes the stuff. Why is this good to know? Because if you use it to scrub bugs off your motorcycle chrome it will leave scratch marks. Same with knife blades.
Ken,
Tried the sheet metal snips last night on some tenth of an inch thick Kydex. Kinda tough to cut because the snips have smooth edges and it pushed the work away more than cutting it.
So I tried the aviation snips that had fine toothed edges and they cut pretty good but I'm sticking to the bandsaw
