EXTRUSION
Before cutting metal extrusion refer to the UFO Constructors video guide parts 1 & 2
(Clamping & Cutting Extrusion).
To cut metal extrusion, first measure the required length and mark on the extrusion side using
pencil. Insert the UFO extrusion tool into the extrusion through 90
as shown in sketch overleaf.
Clamp the extrusion and the UFO Extrusion Tool in the chop saw vice (use protective pads on
the vice jaws to avoid scratching the paintwork) as shown below.
NOTE:
If the UFO Extrusion Tool is not used the plastic copper carrier may split and/or the
copper track may be distorted and forced out of the carrier.
Ensuring the free end of the extrusion to be cut is clamped or secured, switch on the saw and
cut through the extrusion slowly.
