I know that a foot shear will cut aluminum up to .063. But, all the ones I've looked at will only crosscut a sheet of aluminum. They won't shear a cut longer than 52''. What do you use to cut aluminum which is .080 or thicker and to cut longer pieces?

...this is roughly the same deal I get with Aluma- Panel out'a Ga. when I need special cuts....but if it's a rush-gotta have it now thing..I use a saw too an' clean the edges up with a file...I also have a deal with a roofer pal to use his "break" but it does'nt cut that long-way either....

We have a plywood/aluminum angle set up to utilize a circular saw using a carbide tip plywood blade. Works sweet.
