Video Transcript

"Hi, on behalf of Exert Village I'm Terry and today I'm going to show you how to use a set of metal nibblers in metal working. Ok these are the, these are the pneumatic power sheers we're going to use. I'm going to show you how to basically cut straight lines and curved lines with these. Ok these sheers are used for cutting sheet metal, copper, steel, aluminum, stainless. They are a little bit harder to cut stainless but anything you use cutting stainless is a lot more abusive on your tools. You can cut expanded metal, tin so just the piece of galvanized thin twenty gage here. You can do straight lines and curves but you can't really do, cut out these designs like I have here, the pneumatic is just for using to cut off excess material. I've got some expanded metal here and I want to show you how easy it is to cut with the sheers, a nice straight line."
