Brass strip: Anyone know how narrow these strips go down to - at least from
easy to obtain/commonly stocked UK ranges, I don't mean thickness/gauge but
actual width.
I'm looking for some around the 3mm (now that we're metricated <spit>)
mark, around 1/2mm thick that can be cut in to lengths of up to 3" ...
sorry I slipped there, say 75mm. I'm making linkages and flattened rail
bends as you flatten it and as for making thin parallel cuts in brass sheet
... well that's best left to the imagination!
Yes, I know I could go and look in my various my catalogues but they're in
the garage and I'm in my dressing gown. :-)

All the best,

Have you tried buying a drill bit these days? Great fun. Apparently I need a
11.1mm mandrel which is equivalent to 7/16ths of an inch!
