Re: Accurate measured cutting of styrene sheets
I have found that dropping the blade handle super fast helps in getting less curl. Makes me fill like I am reinacting the French Revolution. I also place the cuts furthest out to where the blade is

Re: Accurate measured cutting of styrene sheets
Agree 100%:
The most useful, albeit probably not the most important 'find' in my Mother's estate:
was the 19in by 19in Martin-Yale Premiere paper cutter with the green cross-hatched 3/4in wood base

Re: Accurate measured cutting of styrene sheets
IIRC, Wayne Wesoloski had an article in RMC years ago that converted a disc blade paper cutter to work with sheet styrene. I do not remember the exact issue.

Re: Accurate measured cutting of styrene sheets
Andy, I totally agree. I liked my rotary paper cutter so much that I bought a larger one - 18". Blades can be replaced
when they wear out, so I don't worry about that.

Re: Tsunami sound for GN Y-1 (PRR FF2)
Yeah but... those are DC machines, so the only real sound is gear noise and the occasional clacking of the control contactors, much like a diesel as it makes transition. The GN Y-1s were AC machines

Ted is right. My wife and I chased a Little Joe for a long way West from Missoula in 1973. I recorder them. There was virtually no sound, except for the bell and whistle, a little hum if you got
