Sheet Metal Cutter Showdown!

[@lorenmeyer5290]

I have to agree with you on the angle grinder is the best! Great video Spencer!

[@metaspencer]

gets most jobs done pretty well ... plus, the danger of the tool is always tantalizing ;)

[@liubaicheng7871]

Will angle grinder damage the rust protection?

[@metaspencer]

@liubaicheng7871 deep on the steel … paint afterwards if you’re concerned

[@gsftom]

Excellent. Real life, no bs comparison. Thanks! Keep em coming.

[@metaspencer]

Thanks man, much appreciated.

[@WoodCutr1]

dont forget the cold chisel + bench vise, never had to use it, but it sure is great to know about it for when you do need it

[@metaspencer]

That cold chisel will get the job done! So true

[@BenShirk]

Thanks for the video Spencer! On the topic of ferrous metals, the term comes from alloys that have a high iron content. The way to remember it is that the chemical symbol for iron is Fe, hence (Fe)rrous metals. And you're right, the high iron content reacts to magnetic fields.

[@metaspencer]

Ya know, it would have taken me another decade to put that together: haven't thought much about Fe as a symbol in a good long time. It's a good one. Thanks for that man, and thanks for checking out the video

OK, for once I didnt leave one of your showdowns feeling like i needed a tool run. I have a full metal shop in basement. used to fabricate Japanese and Norse helms for histroical societies. SO for me..the sheet metal show down goes to....THE BEVERLY SHEAR! couldnt live without it. though...PLasma is invaluable in many situations also

[@metaspencer]

"So whaddya make in the basement?" "Oh ya know, Norse helms for historical societies." Love that. I came very close to scoring an old shear on Craigslist, but the deal fell through. They look awesome. Now get back to that helm making :)

08:05 - I have to admit, this was satisfying. And that perfect curl at the end! 😁

[@metaspencer]

Oh yeah. Love that thing

[@luisfernando-mm3jt]

Nice work

[@metaspencer]

[@carlobernardi1387]

Yes my friend... We all love sheet metal cutters... But... Let's get that 2511 T fire up.. I'm starting to get a twitch here ... I hope there's some 🎄 jobs coming up 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@metaspencer]

haha! ya know the sad truth is that the 2511 is out there in the cold at this moment. I really oughta bring it in for a spa day. Ya know, a full overhaul and tune. -2 f here today, but I'd still rather be high in a tree. good to hear from ya man

[@williamkeehn3637]

I have the tried and tried stop and go light set. Left hand straight right hand then for the amount of cutting I do I've owned them for the last 30 years probably and are so like new

[@metaspencer]

30 years is a good start -- just watch, you'll find yourself cuttin' the heck out of some sheet metal before you know it. :)

[@johnpossum556]

Feb 9th but I am getting this notification today on the 16th. How does that work?

[@metaspencer]

ya know, there just may be bugs in the old system! I often hear about comments a few weeks later.

[@rippintv1926]

i think the best way is to bend it back and forth till it breaks🤣

[@metaspencer]

Ya know, we've all been there and it's a method that's gotten us places. :)

[@ai4313]

Me thinks...Red and green are for Port and Starboard...red goes to Port and green to Starboard side.

[@metaspencer]

Excellent. I hadn't thought of that! Thanks for checking out the video
