I need to cleanly and precisely shear 2x3" nameplates, etched onto .040 aluminum. Will this do the job?

That is the limit of the specs. If my equivalence tables are right, 22 gauge steel is about the same stiffness as .040 aluminum, so you should be okay. I'd be happy to run a sample for you, if you have the time to mail me a plate. Just PM me.

yes on plastic tubing the 3 middle size will work.for aluminium i have never cut anything larger then 1/16 thick and i used the finer tooth blades ant press very lightly so not to clog the teeth.

This tool is the right one for this job. The thread that comes with it is fairly heavy. This may or may not be the look you are trying to achieve. You could use other threads.

I cut sheetrock, 2X4 and a 4X4 --- granted it is probably not the most efficient way to do it ---- I think it should work just fine. The only thing I have not cut with these tool is metal or tile -- but if I get the right blade probably will do it fine.

This is an excellent choice for surface mount components. A 1/16 chisel tip works well. From an IPC instructor.

This set is way too small for an axe job. Really. Unless you're talking about removing metal flakes from a bigger file, then I would suggest a good wire brush. You need a good 8 or 9-inch flat file (bastard file) for an axe.

I am not sure, I am a jeweler and used thid for polishing wampum (quahog shells / hard clam shells) and it worked wonderfully for that purpose. Sorry, I am probably not much help.

I don't believe this will work, as Steve_in_Austin stated the size is not really a problem and the cutter works well on wood. My concern with acrylic is the likelihood that the stress caused by the blade and the drill motor will cause the acrylic glass to crack or possibly shatter. I don't think you want that outcome. Have you thought of using something like this General Tools & Instruments 450-6 Flat Leg Divider, 6-Inches and then just taking your time to slowly scribe through the acrylic?

I have only cut standard-weight stained glass and glass tiles with this tool. I'm guessing that it might not be effective on anything heavier.

This is industrial strength remover. I believe it will do that job for you. Try it on a small area though. I used it to take off some adhesive off a windshield that was used to hold a fast pass transponder. It took it off in a minute or so. Goo gone never even softened the stuff.

I work on aircraft and it's able to cut 24 gauge aluminum with no problem. Copper i think is softer... So it should work.

The tool will work, but it won't have half as much power as it should. The tool will require more cfm.

This isn't the tool for that job. It's designed for sheet metal. You'll need a proper thread-making tap (Not a rethreading tap.)

I believe a 4" will do it. but if you have steady hands you can save yourself some coin if you tape it off well and cut it with a sawzall, jigsaw, etc.

George, I just don't know but if you measure the shear pin then check the dimensions of the ones you are thinking of buying it should be easy to make a match. I would bet most are the same. For they cost I would buy a pack and take a chance.

I don't think so. I cut out a piece of aluminum plate that I picked up in Lowe's. I think you'll have to go into invention mode.

Yes. it will feed any length die and the thick dies also work with a variety of plates and shims. HTH
