A while back I lost access to the metal shear I used for years...which has now been donated to a college art department. (that is a good thing) However, I will now need to replace it. I cut up to 18 ga soft metals, silver, copper etc. and need at list a 6 inch cut, 12 inch better. I have been researching shears that will provide a clean cut free of warping. Awfully pricey. Anyone have a recommendation of such a shear you like. Thanks, Brad
