Cutting Shim Stock

[Kodiak]

Any suggestions for quickly and easily cutting shim stock? I've been cutting the blanks about halfway through with a cutoff wheel and then finishing the cut with a cold chisel. I tried using just the cold chisel but it mangles the metal badly. I'm using .025" steel.

What are shim stock ? Are they the stock shims you get a a lock pick company ?

I get the best results cutting shim stock using an air nibbler.

And to answer ThE_MasteR's question...... shim stock is like sheet metal but is in a narrow coil and is used to to level thing (like sliding a matchbook under the wobblly table leg)

Cheers!

i would use .020 shims. abit thinner. i also use a metal chopsaw like a grinder and hold the pick against it. grind a marked profile and use a tough glove
