Sheet Metal Shear

Mine is an old version made by Milwaukee. Like has been said great for like corrugated roofing and long way cut for ridged but sux at cross cut of the ridges. I had to fab a barn door for my new shed out of sheet metal and used 5v roofing for the main cover and tried my shears like this and some other shears and ended up with the cutoff blade on my 5” angle grinder. It made the nicest easiest cut.
 
I use a metal cutting carbide blade on my worm drive saw. Wear ear and eye protection, and support the metal well. Best way I've found after years of cutting many, many sheets of pro-panel. Mike

Never would have thought of that. I’d never messed with it before so not any experience but am surprised it cuts smooth with a toothed blade. Learn something new everyday.
