Uhm Ted, you may not have noticed, but FYI, the OP was talking about 1.2 mm
wire, not what you describe. 2 x 1/8" indeed! Come on guy, wake up.

Never got wider.
yuor probably right with the sizes your talking about. I never had
the need to work round/square wire to flat strip.

So why do you give advice about matters that you have absolutely no experience
with? This is not fair to people who come here for real answers. If you don't
know, just be quiet please. Don't say things like "This one is something I can
help you with.", since obviously you can't. You only confuse the person asking
the question in providing inaccurate information by claiming expertise.
