Cuts easily with scissors.
Zee, I know the part is small, but it still looks large enough to use the edge finder even with the part centered in the vise jaws.
Couldn't you find the "x" edge even with the part totally inside the vise jaws? The finder is only .200" dia. Plus enough to offset. The part looks that large from the picture.
