Ok, 'solutions guys'...
I have some 0.010" phosphor bronze (spring temper) in rolls 6" wide x
80" long.
I need to cleanly slit some 3/8" strips x 80" from this without any edge
distortion.
In addition to laser and water jet, there's electrochemical machining; you could
print it like a printed circuit board, and etch with ferrous chloride to part the strip.
Unrolling it and getting a photographic negative that long for an exposure, though,
isnt an easy print process in this case. I've done smaller parts this way.
