this is how you get …. a cut on your hands and a piece of metal in your
eye! 🙂

He is right on how to cut it… except that he is using track. good lesson.

He hasn’t cut much metal. You can position the piece against your side
while pulling up on the side you want. You cut a comfortable curve in the
piece. As long as the corner points are exact,the rest doesn’t matter. On
light material 20 gauge or less, you can cut the sides ,bend the piece and
use a razor knife to score the bottom of the piece. Then bend the piece
back and forth. After a few bends it breaks cleanly .

He’s looking to get cut. Not bending the piece and making a curve forces
your skin in closer proximity to the metal and makes you push on the snips.
If they slip you are laid open. It takes years to learn to cut metal
without getting cut. It’s also best to learn with straight cut snips. Left
or right become a disadvantage on certain cuts.
