Cutting rectangular wire

[becks3636]

I misunderstood - sorry. Is there a reason you don't want to buy the rectangular wire as is?

It unfortunately doesn't come in the size I want. I've remeasured this morning and I need 0.8 x 1.6 so its a bit different from the wire on the site. I will squash square wire I think that's the best option for long lengths. I assume I should squash in two directions to get it rectangular?
