murrayec Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hi All You just have to get yourselves a Plato Model170 Shears! Baseboard Dave is doing these and I grabbed one recently. I've always trusted in Xuron cutters for track and wire cutting but noticed how the blades get dented very easily- not so with the Plato shears. It cuts track top to bottom beautifully with ease and without distortion, a quick rub with a file its done. I have been cutting hard brass wire with the Plato and no dents have appeared yet, it's tougher than the Xuron and it's half the price. Grab one while he has them in stock Eoin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Here's a few pics of them, it makes a very neat job of cutting track, and for €12 you can't go wrong! I also post them for free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
