Another Newbie

Copper is an absolute bitch to machine, dead gummy and just wants to weld itself to the tool. Have you given any thought to a plasma cutter?
All depends on the amount of detail needed.

I did think about a plasma cutter but wondered if I'd need to have a water flow ?
Would it cut neater.

Hi Chris,

You don't mention if the designs are simple or complex, but have you tried the band saw / jigsaw or sander type route? If they are all the same design, a Flypress? It might work out cheaper? (more brownie points too! :-)

If you imagined a flower shape cut on a 2" square or something like this.
Terrible picture sorry, it's about 3" wide.

Too fiddly for a bandsaw I think and too varied for a press.
