I need it for the robotics team to cut sheets of aluminum in the offseason.
The budget is about 200-900 dollars
The aluminum will mainly be 6061 and if possible 7075.
The edges need to be square
I just need sqaures and rectangles
I want to do it myself
The maximum thickness needed is 1/8"
The bottom line is: I just want something that will cut sheets of aluminum

thanks for all the help cd

What kind of tolerances? Will there be a secondary operation, or are you cutting to size?

The answers to those two questions will determine whether or not you can buy a shear, or if you are SOL.
