easy way to cut strips of thin metal?

Hi,

I'd like to cut thin (.030") strips from a sheet of .005" thick metal (probably brass) to about 6.5" long. Is there an easy way to do this? I can't get an accurate cut with an x-acto knife and photo-etching is, well, more toxic than I want to deal with.

Are there other options?

Thanks much,

Art

An old classic paper cutter/trimmer?

Yeah that sounds like it might be a size K&S would carry.
