Utilizes a powerful 4-amp motor, curling the metal as it cuts. Swiveling head rotates a full 360 degrees to meet the needs of any project.
I needed to trim the uneven edges of a 1.2mm to 1.5mm fiberglass sheet and this tool worked very good.

First I pressed a long metal ruler against the fiberglass. sheet and used it as a cutting guide, but later discovered that you could simply draw a straight line on a sheet of fiberglass with a black marker and cutβ¦
Pros
Swivel head rotates 360 degrees to meet the needs of any project

I don't know how thick the metal was,
