Cut Aluminum Coil Stock

What happens here

Begin by taking a roll of aluminum coil stock, typically used for flashing. Place the material onto a flat, stable surface, ensuring it is properly aligned. Using a utility knife with a sharp blade and a metal straight edge (which can be part of a cutting table or a separate tool), carefully score a straight line across the aluminum sheet. Apply firm, consistent pressure to create a deep score. Once scored, the aluminum can be bent along the score line to snap and separate the desired width of material. Repeat this process for all necessary pieces, typically two side pieces and one top piece for a standard garage door.

Goal: Prepare aluminum pieces to size from coil stock.
