Fast and powerful but not good for tight radii

I've used this on various materials so far. Soft cold roll 1/8, 16ga 304 stainless steel, automotive sheet metal (22ga grade) and 1/8" 5052 aluminum. It runs through them. Easy to use with a ruler. Saw or cutting wheel. Much safer and easier. The only downside is that you can't cut in a very small radius like you can with a smaller die.

Pros
  • Tools and Housewares
Cons
  • Not sure

Works perfectly and great quality.

Surprisingly, when you have to follow a mark, it's easy to cut in a straight line without a guide. I was amazed at how fast this thing cuts. I own and run a welding shop and this tool is improving my ability to cut curves like I was hoping for. But I'm amazed at how quickly and easily straight lines can be cut and I wasn't expecting it, but I love it. Excellent build quality. Much better than my Milwaukee shears. This thing is also great for trimming small amounts of material neatly. Need to…

Pros
  • Scissors and Nibblers
Cons
  • Expensive
