I'm considering purchasing an air-operated sheet metal cutter. I notice that
Eastwood , Harbor Freight, etc. list an air-powered shear and an air-powered
nibbler.
Is one type better than the other. Up till now I've either used my manual
snippers, or my air-powered cut off tool. But for auto body work consisting of
cutting out complex curved panels, perhaps a shear or nibbler would be better.
One problem with the cut off tool is that those discs (even the expensive ones)
wear down very quickly and also the tool can get jammed and stall or kick back
a lot. Also it can be hard to get a very straight line. Would the nibbler or
shear be better in this regard?
Any help appreciated,
Gene
