Beneficial Features of Woodward Fab’s Hand Operated Nibbler
The following features of our hand-operated sheet metal nibblers make them one of the important tools in facilities, where the metal is cut for HVAC applications, structural support, embellishments, and more.
- This sheet metal nibbler tool gains its name from a variety of small cutting actions similar to nibbling.
- The nibbler goes upwards on squeezing the handles, which helps produce perfect cuts, leaving minimal or no distortion.
- The long handles of the sheet metal nibbler tool offer leverage to cut through sheet metal easily.
- With a .100 nibble width, Woodward Fab’s hand operated nibbler tool cuts up to 20 gauge mild steel as well as 18 gauge aluminum.
- These hand nibbler tools are used to cut steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and other similar metals in corrugated sheet metal, trapezoid, and curved single-rolled sheet profiles.
- These hand operated sheet metal nibblers offer more convenience than tinsnips when cutting the sheet through the middle.
- These hand operated sheet metal nibblers are ideal to use for recycling as well as dismantling applications.
How to Use Hand Operated Nibblers Safely?
The following are easy-to-follow tips for using hand-operated nibblers safely.
- Ensure that the body of the nibbler remains parallel to the sheet that is to be cut.
- Use a drill to create a starter hole in the material before cutting through its middle.
- Take the tool out of the center of the material as you cannot lift it out of the kerf.
- Ensure that the metal chips fall away from your body, and are contained in special work areas. The chips can be extremely sharp and can cause injuries, or make scratches on the floor surfaces they fall. Sometimes, they may enter the electrical systems or machines and can cause short circuits.
