What did most people use to trim the HS404? I'm thinking about buying a band saw because it seems to me that will be the easiest way to make this cut and all similar cuts in the future. I've tried aluminum snips but they seem to make ugly cuts. I bought a pair of left and right handed snips at Home Depot but I haven't tried those yet. Does anyone know if the snips from home depot will be any different than the ones at Avery or other aircraft tool suppliers? Also, is it really necessary to pay $30 for a 24" steel ruler? Has anyone found these at a normal tool supply company at a more reasonable prices than over a dollar an inch? -Will Allen North Bend, Wa RV-8 emp.
