Thanks for the link mate thats a great idea i will definitely try that

I have to cut a bevel on a Colourbond fence to match the fall of the ground. I bought a 205 mm saw and a sheet metal cutting blade, about 80 teeth.
Sure makes a hell of a racket and bits of swarf everywhere but gets the job done without burning the sheeting.

nibblers are definitley the GO

Gags,
Depends how much you want to cut.
You say you want it accurate, in that case don't rip/tear it.
Scribing is OK for straight parallel cuts down the length.
You have a few choices, see attachments below.

Thanks for the link bilbee it was very informative I think I will try the ripping technique first because thats the cheapest way out

You can also get away with using an SG elastic 1mm cutting disc for a 4inch angle grinder if you have one.

Thanks for all the help guys
My grandpa and put the roof on the shed the other day and we used the tearing technique to cut it all to size it worked surprisingly well. It took me days of convincing him that it would work before we actually started and you should seen the look on his face it was priceless Thanks heaps guys
