Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. Is this 1.58mm bar suitable for making structural shelf brackets?

   • No. This profile is thin and flexible, designed for decorative trim only. For structural brackets, you need a minimum thickness of 3.17 mm (like the EX-S17 profile) or a channel/angle profile.

2. How should I secure this wider flat bar to prevent bowing?

   • Due to its thinness, secure the bar at frequent intervals (every 30-40 cm) using small counter-sunk screws or apply a continuous bead of high-bond construction adhesive to the entire underside.

3. What is the best cutting tool for achieving a very clean edge on this material?

   • A chop saw with a non-ferrous metal cutting blade will yield the cleanest, most professional edge, particularly for creating neat mitre joints.
