At Orchard Supply, we take great pride in providing a wide range of tools and equipment to DIY enthusiasts, professionals, and anyone who needs them. One question that often comes up is, "Can I cut sheet metal at Orchard Supply?" The answer is resounding; yes, you can!
Orchard Supply has a motley of tools available for sale that are specially designed for cutting sheet metal. Sheet metal tools at our store range from the simple and straightforward such as the tin snips to more complex and power tools like the nibbler, powered shears, or the plasma cutter.
Starting the adventure into sheet metal work is the humble scissor-like appliance, the tin snips. Tin snips are a fantastic tool for small to medium-sized jobs. They are handheld and very easy to maneuver. However, for more substantial and more complex cutting, we will need to switch to electrically powered devices.
Enter the Nibblers. Nibblers are some of the best power tools available for sheet metal cutting. They work through a punch and die process and are as easy to handle as holding an oversized pen. Nibblers make cutting curves, angles, and complex shapes in sheet metal easier.
Powered shears, on the other hand, offer more power and precision than tin snips, extending their cutting capabilities into more substantial gauges of sheet metal. They handle the sheet metal cutting job much like a pair of electric scissors and can be wielded with relative ease. And if you want a clean slice on a substantial piece of metal sheet, powered shears are your tool.
Lastly, we come to the plasma cutter- the lion of metal sheet cutters. The plasma cutter is excellent for cutting heavy pieces of metal quickly and efficiently. It requires a little more expertise to use but offers unparalleled performance when dealing with large sheets of metal or complex cutting patterns.
It is essential to remember safety first in metal cutting! Always use gloves, wear safety goggles. They are mandatory and the best buddies you*ll have when handling sheet metal and electric power tools.
With all these powerful tools available at Orchard Supply, we ensure that our customers' needs are taken care of whether it's cutting sheet metal or any other DIY project.
