Having played around using the Bridgeport Slotting head as a nibbler, I had 'sort of' resolved to mount one of my hand held nibblers 'up side down' in a cabinet to hopefully make it more controllable. Most of my sheet work is 1.2 mm galvanised, but the job that had triggered this was actually 2 mm aluminium.
Casting around for something to mount it, I came across a rather rusty 'Sea Jay 500 Throatless Nibbler' on ebay. I thought that at least it would be a basis to build one round. Only specified up to 1.5 mm steel, but hey, we're mad modders aren't we.

The price wasn't actually too bad at £210 but it looked a wreck and the seller wouldn't shift his price. Casting around for details of the unit I came across another one in a dealers at a much higher price (£360) but in a far more sanitary condition, so I told him if he'd match the price of the one on ebay I'd buy it. He did, and it arrived on a pallet yesterday
