An absolute beast of a tool
5 Stars
An absolute beast of a tool
I had to cut down a sheet of 2mm mild steel to better fit the airflow in the laser-cutter. I approached this job with some trepidation, because it's only supposed to handle 18-gauge steel, not 14-gauge (~2mm). It went through the sheet of steel like a hot knife through butter - it was effortless.Considering how little this cost, it's an absolute steel. Pun intended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good tool
Reviewed in Canada on July 18, 2023
This is a relatively good tool. The only reasons I did not give it 5 stars is that sometimes it is hard to start a cut. Especially if it’s at an angle or on a ridge. The second reason I did not give it 5 stars is that it sometimes scratches the paint a tiny bit on both sides at the same time.

This got the job done but if I had to do it all over again i would use this tool for straight cuts but use a nibler for the rest.
