“Describes the techniques and employed in cutting blanks and piercing holes in aluminum sheet. The picture explains how to lay out sheet economically; how to design tools with proper clearance; the precautions required in setting up tools for best results; and why thorough lubrication and careful maintenance is important. The use of shears, saws and routers is also discussed, as in the Guerin ‘rubber pad’ method."
