Title: Cap strips cut
Cap strips cut using my old and abused skil saw albeit with plenty of rest breaks for it to cool down. I built a fence and set it for 1/32" over the recommended width to allow for deburring. While cutting, I found that it was necessary to support the strip mid span while cutting it and clamp it so it did not catch the saw blade and jerk forwards. Between cuts I used the Noga Deburr tool to remove any burrs that may have caught on the saw fence. CAUTION: due to the vibration of the saw cutting aluminum, I had the wing nut controlling blade angle loosen up, this caused it to cut one strip too narrow near the end as it tilted while I was cutting. I should be able to use it for one of the shorter strips but it bore mentioning. After that happened I switched to the other side of the sheet so my strips would be consistent width. Deburring is about 5 min per strip with the belt grinder and a med surface conditioning belt.
