here in Missouri, we use the same material for pole barn siding, what we do is we stack them, pre drill all our holes so we only have to measure once then we cut all of them at once with a skilsaw with a metal blade. I think the most we cut at one time was like 15 panels though
In all seriousness, thanks for the info. It sounds like a quick method and I had not heard of it before. I'm curious what it does with the edging. With galvalume it's important to pinch it to stop corrosion. I've got some spare material so I'm going to try it. @@Sith_dude
Nibbler just can't cut straight, I always use grinder and then touch up the edge with paint right away for rustproofing. Works very well and last long.
ironically, part of this went out of focus because I manually focused on a preceding shot and it didn't auto release. :) We were working fast on the roof so I didn't review the footage until it was uploaded.

I've drilled holes for multiple sheets at once but never cut more than one at a time. Thanks for the tip!
I mostly use a dis cutter on sheet metal > but it has its draw back to~ > flying pieces of metal and sparks
That does look like it would make a few sparks. :)
I use a circular saw with the blade on backwards. Works perfect
I've never heard of that method. Maybe that's why I still have all of my fingers. :)
@@floridarusticrepairs that's why you don't put your fingers in the way. Duh!!!!

It's quick but it doesn't crimp so corrosion on the edges will happen which is why I don't cut with a circular saw. @@floridarusticrepairs

Electric shears are the best. Ive tried them all over 40 years. The simplest and the safest
Yes, and they pinch the material well.
Very helpful!
Glad to hear it. Thanks!
Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!

That's an interesting approach I hadn't heard. Thanks for the info!
Also voids the warranty on the tin, for good reason.
No video ever does a 45 degree hip or valley cut with corrogated profile,anybody can cut across.
Now I'm curious. I'm going to be installing metal roofing on the garage soon. I'll shoot some footage. Thanks!
Sweet, i just brought a Diablo metal cutting blade for my skilly to do my hips,will let you know how that goes.@@floridarusticrepairs
Also the Nibblers make a dangerous ribbon of sharp metal
Yes, they look like nice ornaments for a Christmas Tree that will cut you quick.
sounds like ur not from around there (northern)
Yep.Moved from New England to FL 20 years ago.
@@floridarusticrepairsMassachusetts here 😊
I'm originally from Hudson, MA. When I was a kid it was a small failing mill town but now it's very busy. Where are you from? @@kupkakexo1798
South african
no gloves huh?
Good point. I generally won't work with galvalume sheets unless I've got gloves on.
focus ..learn to use it

That was pretty piss poor demo
