Hi,

Just discovered slitting/lever shears work real well for cutting.
Something like that:

I always used a handheld shear, but it was a right-handed one and awkward  
to cut along the line, and you need several cuts, which always leaves me  
with a slightly wobbly result.


Now i had this idea to try the lever shear, and it works real well after  
adjusting the distance between the blades a bit closer by shimming the  
lower blade.


i was looking out for a big shear (the kind with a long blade), but they  
are SO expensive... And i had that lever shear with only a few parts  
missing which could be fabricated.. ;-)

The 16cm blade is enough for most of my boards in one, straight go. Even  
with two cuts it will be staighter than a handheld shear.
