Cutting ramp flaps

Cutting ramp flaps

I need to cut new flaps for my Ironman
I have the bluesteel, and a pair of heavy duty scissors to cut

But I am finding hard to cut perfectly straight, and to cut the rounded corners

Any hints?

Thanks
Pete

I used a guillotine to do some.

pinsanity:
Nail scissors with a slightly curved tip for the corners.

Yep, a guillotine does the trick
So easy to hold the steel in place with one hand and cut with the other

pinsanity:
Best option is to have plenty of shim stock on hand for when those cheap Stern ramp flaps inevitably go rusty.

Plus you can enhance it with some coloured accoutrements.
