Pretty easy to cut up to 1mm mild with tinsnips. It would take me about
10 mins to cut and file a piece like that. Or about 2 mins with my
powered snips.

POWERED SNIPS you say!! Sounds like another great powertool to buy, that
I'll use once and forever have hanging around in my toolbox!

(or I could just use the normal ones)

Thanks for all the advice!
