Cut and drill the bars after forming, according to the position of the joint. Drilling or cutting beforehand may deflect the drill and leave irregular folio ends, because the folios slide during forming. On site this is usually done with a busbar fabrication machine. Clamp the material firmly while drilling or band-saw cutting for occupational safety and a clean result. For joints on busbars, clamping can be used instead of drilling.
