Always intrigued when I find a video that succinctly and thoroughly answers the exact question I had, and I notice it was just posted a few days ago. Thanks for NOT rambling on about your personal life, what other projects you're working on, political opinions, etc. etc. etc. YT NEEDS more technical content like this. Great job!!!
Glad you enjoyed! The only thing we're here to do is educate and hopefully have a good time while doing so, but our main focus is to help!
Oh, you hit the nail on the head. I so share your comment.
Short and to the point. Thank you.
"If you're cutting through metal siding all day, please get some shears. Don't torture yourself."
That's the kind of unambiguous actionable quote I've been looking for.
@Ohio Power Tool. Thanks Nick for explaining when to use a shear or nibbler. Again, the right tool depending on the type of metal work.
Hope you, the entire staff at OPT, and your families stay safe and well.
Great video - short and to the point. Bravo
I have a Nibbler that does not use electricity, but it's kinda Hard to use, we use Hammer or other Tools, but if you're experienced, it's fine without a Sweat
This is informative for this newbie and succinct: thank you!
Great video with good examples, thank you
Torch it I say. LET IT BUUUUURN!!!!
Good explanation. . . Thank you
heya have both sheers and niblers. The milwaukee nibler does have a bag attached to catch those fishhooks though can be a bit tiresome emptying it all the time, but beats cleaning them up. We use the niblers for what we call mini orb or mini flute as it doesn’t stretch the sheets when u cut and the sheers (single) for everything else. good vid.👍
Thank you soooo much mate for that outstanding Video ... helps heaps ❤
You're very welcome! I am glad it helped
This was exactly the info I was looking for
Awesome glad we could help!
Thanks dude!
Check out the Jetco Wachtel Panel Cutter.
Brill video got a question about which of these would be worth using on Van doors. I currently am about to go into fitting high security van hook locks and will be working on side sliding and rear double doors. What would be best for dealing with the tighter areas as normally you use Airsaws/blades but like a commenter said down below I hate working with all the wires plus I will be mobile so lugging an Air compressor is going to be a pain. I was going to jump for the nibbler but I noticed it did leave a slightly more jagged cut and cant have the cut too rough as I will be working in mms so tight is an uderstatement.
What would you recommend to cut out the panel for a window on a Ford Transit cargo van?
I need to make a cut on a bmw e36 front fenders to alleviate wheel well air pressure. so I need clean lines minimal distortion and a couple of radius. while the fender is on the car. this is gonna be tough.
We build circular metal tanks with corrugated steel roofs. We have the manually trim the roof to be a circle (offset a few inches past the tank wall). Looking for a way to slide a guide along the curved edge of the tank which holds a cutter that can do over 100ft of overlapping corrugated metal in a reasonable time.
Hey Colin! A nibbler may be what you're looking for there; guides are a bit tricker, as you may have to get something specially made, but nibblers cut through corrugated metal almost like butter, so you should be able to get through the material pretty quickly!
Is there any corded tool that is less violent, heavy and more precise than an angle grinder for cutting out rusted sections of car sheet metal floors and rockers?
Reciprocating saws may be the better option for you as they definitely can provide more control and are much heavier that angle grinders.
So I have a project I just changed out a deadbolt and what I realized is the house is pretty old so I want to use the existing deadbolt that is already installed in the door where the pin goes in. My question to you guys are what rotary tool would best fit my needs to cut upwards a little bit so the pin would fit perfectly in.
For the task you described, a rotary tool with a cutting attachment or a cutting wheel would be suitable for modifying the hole in the door to accommodate the existing deadbolt pin. The Bosch MX30EC-31 Multi-X is a highly regarded oscillating tool that can handle various cutting tasks. It features a robust motor and interchangeable cutting blades, allowing for precise and controlled cutting.
Havent cut my toe nails in years😂
:P
Do you need steady hands and heightened awareness for the shears? I was a little shocked about the hands and fingers in front of them.
Using shears definitely requires steady hands and awareness of where your fingers are. If you’re feeling a bit nervous, practice a few times or drop by, and we'll gladly show you the best techniques to use them safely!
I would like to cut stainless steel mens womens rings to have words formed Like Andy Kim Tracy Nancy caps or small caps. Not engraved but chizzled and formed or sculpted like u would do a vlock of clay wood marble and make a statue or something.. In 2024 is there hand held tools that would help me do these crafts faster and less manuel than primarily just using saws etc? I would use both but researching what options make this less time and energy thanks
What do you think trying to cut circles from 6" to 14" from metal
Also for tight spaces / will not have the side to cut from.
This is an ideal tool to open up a smaller hole into larger one. If you can come from the center cut straight lines to the 14” size then cut smaller pieces from inside out where sides has more space. Head can cut from the sides.
Good afternoon, i am looking to solve a solution.
I work in a vehicle body shop and i current use an airsaw to cut through metal on car doors. (specifically inside area or the pillars of the door.
I cut these doors to get the clips out because they are an absolute nightmare and dealership sells the clips at £35.00 a pop.
Any idea what tool i should get as i hate using airtools because the inconvenience of grabbing the hose and all that.
Hey Graham! That's an excellent question, and one that we can definitely help you out with! Are you looking to keep the door mostly intact while you cut through in order to patch it up easier once finished, or would you prefer to get in quick without much thought for how the door will look afterwards?
I would like to eat the door, as usually when I'm doing this process it's getting a new door. I have uploaded a video on my TH-cam it will the be newest one. This will give you a great clue on what I'm after.
Brilliant, that helps immensely! You *should* be able to get away with a nibbler for the most part, though a pair of single cut shears may also do the trick. The nibblers will essentially destroy the material underneath without any hope of salvaging it and throw off tiny metal shavings, while the shears will come away with larger strips of the metal instead. It may be easier to get at those clips with the nibbler since you can just begin a cut wherever!
Hey I want to cut into my doors to make speaker holes wider not sure what to use nibblers or shears
Nibblers would most likely be the best option as they are more precise for those curved cuts and better for thicker metal.
Hi I’m looking to cut out a quarter panels off a car witch or what is the best tool for this project
If you're looking to keep the surrounding area intact, a pair of shears would be your best bet; if, however, you don't much care about the surrounding area of the cut, grab a nibbler!
@@OhioPowerTool thanks for the reply
A witch has a broomstick and a pointy hat.
Which is the word which you need.
Guys i have a 6mm metal sheet and cannot use fire or plasma to cut it. What can i use ?
That's some thick metal so unfortunately a shear would not work. Depending on the type of cut you're trying to do I would recommend a jigsaw, sawzall or circular saw blade. If you need to pick something up, give us a call 614-481-2111 and we'll get you taken care of.
Can this sheer can cut 1inch or half inch metal sheet?
Unfortunately, no it can only do 14g (or 1/16th of an inch). You would probably need a metal cutting circular saw
❤
Is there anything out there to cut through 13MM STEAL TANKS
Nibblers wouldn't be ideal for cutting into material that thick--we recommend a grinder and a cut off disc for that application!
I suppose steal tanks are tanks which are designed to be stolen. Steel tanks on the other hand are made of steel.
thanks for the information. i work with 0.045mm sheet metal. i really need straight precise cuts. perhaps something with a guide or track. what do you recomened?
I'm not aware of any guides or tracks for these and that seems way too thin to run a circ saw. if you're talking a fairly large production, JET has good forming shears to look into jettools.com/metalworking/forming/shears
what would you use at junkyard to cut a rocker panel
Typically to cut a rocker panel off a vehicle you would use a reciprocating saw then to cut the rocker panel in length it is recommended to use an angle grinder
