Re: [Amc-list] Throatless shear

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I wanted it for the 16 gauge metal I used on the trough rebuild of my Ambassador.

Stuff is a bear to cut with shears, or a cutoff wheel. 
I still have one side to go.
A plasma would do it, kind of expenive though. 

We have a throatless here at work and it does a nice job.
You can cut a straight line pretty easily.
Curves in both directions. etc;
I wanted one for home as running metal back and forth is a PIA.

No, not using it on the boat, Though I have seen Ambassadors called Amboats :]

It's a pretty old fashioned tool, but it does a nice clean job, with zero electric or air power.
Nice and quiet, you can hear yourself think and everything!
