Re: Cutting hole in 1/8" ali panel
I have a nibbler which I bought at a car boot sale. I was told that it needed a very powerful drill to drive it. I took it apart with difficulty and found the shaft was half a thou over half inch. I sent an e-mail to the makers to find out the correct size and was told the firm had moved to Australia. The director sent me a new shaft and a spare anvil by airmail, free of charge. That was sevice. She was pleased that I would use it to make equipment for disabled people. It works well.
I also have a double tin snips which cuts a slot without distorting the remaining sheet. Bought by my neice from Cheap Charle
ys. I think it would need a stong grip to use on 3mm aliminium.
