Yes I have, not the exact same model, but similar, see my build thread for results on sills and floor pans. I found that to keep the beads straight you need to make some longer fences and it's handy to have have some tables to rest the piece for in and outfeed. I used my woodworking roller platforms.

Brian,

That's encouraging, I've seen your stuff, it's excellent. Did you use the tool to cut any panels?

Hi Simon, I tried to experiment with cutting, but I ended up deforming edges on the first try. Since I was fortunate enough to have borrowed a forum members 3 way metal machine that cut, bent and rolled material, I did not see a reason to tune the machine to cut like that. However, I would like to think that with proper adjustment, you could cut ali paneling without any problems.

Please see a PM I am sending you for a possible alternative solution to cutting.
