I'm not sure if they still sell it but not to worry I bought two others cause they're so cheap. And to address the.comment of what a waste of good sheet metal . I believe any sheet metal you get paid to make into something would not be a waste.Thank you all for watching.
I have one....it has a very hard time cutting 20 gauge...can only do short cuts before it bogs down or gets stuck on all the metal that curves up in front.
Would oiling the blades have helped make the cuts any easier? It sounds like the blades are dragging/rubbing. I am not knowledgeable on these things is the reason I ask! Also, do the gauges on sheet metal go up or down! I mean is 16 gauge thicker or thinner than 14 gauge? Thanks for posting this video! I've been thinking about getting one and this helps! Also, for the guy that commented about it being a waste of good sheet metal, I think he was thinking you were just making random cuts but, even though WE couldn't see any lines, in the video, I did hear you say that you couldn't see the line anymore! Obviously, you did have lines and the curves weren't JUST random cuts, wasting the metal! In other words you WERE cutting this for someone that wanted it cut in a specific shape! Kudos!
Thanks for your interest in the use of the metal we used in the making of this video.This sheet metal was being cut for the inner rear wheel wells for the 1941 Packard .

Allways use some cutting oil to preserve the sharpness of your cutting tools, mine is 4 years old and working good
I have this exact same shear, they’re just okay....kinda sorta? I would recommend a nibbler cutter over this tool.
It did what we needed it to do at that time.

Thanks for your comment , you're right. I do want to get a plasma cutter for sure.

Excuse me , how do you shape this blades. Thank you
Sorry. I'm not sure, we didn't need to on this particular machine. Thanks
so that cuts out a pretty wide gap huh?
They are rated for 14g aluminum and 18g steel. No wonder why they are having a hard time with your 16g steel material.
Thank you
At first I thought the metal was bent but then i realized that the camera lens is made out fun house glass.
Yes, and it costs extra. Thanks
I love it
Why use a plasma cutter when you can use this contraption.
👍💯⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
