Terence Lynock Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 When working with white depron I have had problems with fracturing from sharp angles, cutting a hole with 90 degree corners may well cause fractures starting at the point of the angle, now I radius the corners if possible using a 1p piece, the small radius is enough to stop fractures.

Tony Bennett Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 yup best not to cut square holes as you get stress cracks as did the dh comet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence Lynock Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 One other thing I have found with Depron is that there is a 'bend' side and a 'break' side and if you look carefully at the surfaces of the two sides you will see there is a slight difference. Cut a couple of 4'' squares then try to bend them using thumb pressure, it will either give a little allowing you to work a bend into the Depron or it will fracture, whichever surface allows a bend to be formed is well remembered for future reference.
