Questions & Answers

Corrugated metal is this machine able to cut through?

The situation is not very good. This is the best for flats.

Can this be used to cut corrugated sheet metal that has a wave pattern?

If it works, it is fine. It will take some time for you to get used to controlling the angle of the tool. In that case, you would have trouble using the tool if the width of the corrugation is too narrow for the head. A range of less than 3 inches peak to peak would be too tight for the tool, but I could be wrong. Then I use Amazon. *br> *br>That's why I use Amazon.

It is my understanding that this is the case, but I would like What is the speed of the motor?

A variable speed trigger is indeed available. It does not have a speed selector switch. It has worked well for me to modulate triggers.

Does it have a brushless motor?

As the tool or box doesn't indicate so, it would assume that it doesn't, but it works

It's best to make double cuts
5/5

Straight lines work fine. The speed is really fast, and the weight is not too It would be nice if there was a hook.

There are two types of stainless steel
5/5

In the process of demoing a hotel kitchen, we went through $100 worth of sawsall blades, but it seemed like it cut through 16ga stainless steel like My crew accomplished more in 2 hours than we did in the entire day. Time will tell if the blade lasts, but it worked great the first time! The tool you need if you want to cut stainless steel is this one. A second one has just been ordered.

The thing I love about it
5/5

Before this, I had never owned a cordless nibber. It is a very useful tool. As of now, I have cut 26 gauge R panel and no. 16 expanded metal. Nothing to worry about.

That works well for me
5/5

The steel is cut with ease even when it is 16 ga. No cuts will be made. In addition to polycarbonate, the 090 polycarbonate performs very well. Very powerful and very strong. This unit is compact and can be rotated to a 45 degree angle.
