I found that the most enjoyable part about this video was that the rock music plays when you cut sheet metal. SHEET METAL REQUIRES METAL ROCKIN'!

A very big thank you for answering the questions, I've had trundeling around in my head for a week or two... Very helpful and clear instructions .... Best wishes... Phil (UK)

Great video! Of those three tools I only have a jigsaw, and I agree , it works great for cutting 16 gauge mild steel sheet metal. Soon I will get an angle grinder because it’s an essential tool for metal work.

Great video. Exactly what I wanted to know. Very well presented. Thanks for sharing your expertise and experience. You did us all a service.

Great video. Very well targeted to numpties like me that just have one job they want to do and only have limited tools. Yes! I have a grinder! Thanks for the tips!

Great video, thank you! You opened my eyes to some low-cost options that I already have.

Thank you so much for making this video. Like some other people, I didn't consider a jigsaw. I even have a metal cutting blade that came with it so I'm good to go

Thank you for being straight to the point without a bunch of blah blah. Awesome video. Buying a metal blade for my jigsaw tomorrow and getting the DIY job done quick.

Extremely helpful guide, I'm brand new to cutting metal and armoring, and this was great!

I’m glad it helped you out!

great suggestions for sheet metal and other jobs. thank you

Another conversion to the jigsaw. I'm making small plates to make scale armor and thought I was going to have to use a hand saw or a pair of tin snips. This is going to save my hands cramping and a ton of time. Thanks alot for the insight!

Great video ! You just have lighting me up with simple power tools what I already have it. Many many thanks !

Thank you! I normally only do woodworking but have a piece of sheetmetal I want to cut & am glad I can use my jigsaw.

The jig saw was great! I have one of those and I only have a few cuts to make. Thanks.

Hell yes! never even thought about a jig saw for cutting my sheet metal arc!

2022, so glad i found this, thanks so much for the needed info i was searching high and low to be answered.

By far, the best video on KZread for cutting sheet metal. Many thanks.

Yeah they really aren’t bad. Nice thing is they don’t leave slag and the metal stays cool to the touch. Works great in a pinch! Thanks for watching!

Great video, came up just when I needed it. well done! I'm one of those unlucky few who didn't know about metal blades for jig saws!

Jigsaw! Didn't think about that. Amazing!

I've cut more linear feet with a cutoff wheel than I should admit.. because I've been too cheap to get a plas. I really do need to get a plasma cutter!! Great video brother! You never let us down!

Thanks a lot Chris! Plasmas sure ain’t cheap but they are definitely nice! Have you seen the Milwaukee “skill saw” that’s designed for metal? I want to try one out so bad! Much cheaper option than a plas and for long straight cuts through sheet metal they look tough to beat! Thanks for watching Chris!

Oh hell yeah man, totally forgot the jigsaw, saved my butt!

excellent video, short and efficient, thank you very much.

Gotta have your rock, when you cut that block! Thank you for info and music!

Great video!! I was looking for how cut a circle in thick sheet metal

Great demos!! plan to buy a nibbler to cut metal but I think will not anymore, only for the blade for metal use since I already have a jigsaw and never thought of it, so then I will try. Thanks for your video, it's a big help.

Thanks man. I never thought of the jig saw. Duh...fabulous idea. Great explanation. All the best.

Right on man thanks! I figured a jigsaw could cut out my speaker wholes in my car so I could could better and better midrange speakers. Just need the right blade. ROCK ON!!!!!.🤘🏼MERICA!!!🇺🇸

Excellent, thanks for the info!

Never would of thought of a jig saw great tip👍👍💯

Awesome Video. My first time working with metal cutting tool. I feel ready to cut the metal poles from my bed. Have a great one :)

I have a jigsaw and I do not mind the vibration. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day!

I've got a Double-Cut saw from Harbor Freight that I use to cut thick metal. Or, sometimes I'll just use cutting discs, with my grinder.

Never even thought of the jigsaw blade change, great tip thanks!

Awesome video and very educative for newbies like me! Thanks alot.

Thank you for posting. Very informational

Great video. It was good that you not only talked about the tool, you show the tool being used. Stay safe.

Great demonstration mate, I've been cutting some steel RHS and sheet metal off something already built, with an angle grinder but it's a pain. Will try a jigsaw with the steel blade, should be much easier

Ahh this was so helpful! I'm about to help a class of 2nd grade kids design and cut giant flower petals from sheet metal. I'm going with the grinder based off of this video.

Thank you so much . I loved this video.

Great video! I’m going to use these techniques for my trains on my channel.

Great information, thanks for sharing

I totally forgot about using the jigsaw. I used to use one for cutting holes for speakers in car audio. Awesome.

Thanks am new to working with metal and not rich! Never thought of the jigsaw

Thanks. I don't know a lot about cutting metal but there is an artistic burn barrel idea in my head. Thanks.

Good luck with the project! If you go the jigsaw route you won’t be able to plunge cut with it but you can drill a hole the size of the blade to get it started

Another good video. Tyler Thnks for sharing your knowledge.

@@farmertylerranch4399 the blade has teeth that are real hard and very close together. It's neat how it works

I bought a Worx jigsaw / sawzall and it cuts metal with ease, used the sawzall end to cut old cast iron sewer pipe with a sawzall cast iron blade, can take the Worx into tight spaces and it is cordless.

Nice work - thx for the vid

kick ass vid, I'm going to get a jigsaw, knowing that it will vibrate like hell I need to cut some tight radii Thanks!

Solid video

I have plasma, oxy acetylene, chop saws, both abrasive and carbide, Evolution circular saw for steel, grinders and jig. I use them all depending on the circumstances.

Good work! Never thought of using a jigsaw for metal. Keep up the good videos

Great video!

I need to cut strips off 1mm-thick spring steel plate. Would a 20V cordless jigsaw with a carbide or diamond blade do the job well.

Very Nice Video thanks for sharing ur skills :)

Cool guy! Thanks

Thanks for this video. I guess a dremel is out of the question and since I don't have a Plasma cutter, a grinder or jigsaw are my only choice(s).

Thanks heaps for the vid. It was really helpful. I also love that you didn't pad it out with a whole heap of irrelevant "bla bla bla" like a lot of people tend to with their vids these days.

Thank you for including the jigsaw.

Does using the jig saw method on thinner sheet like 18ga stainless require a backing like maybe clamping or screwing a piece of plywood to keep the metal from flopping up and down and so that a bit of downward pressure can be applied to the saw without bending the sheet metal? Your piece looked like about 3/16” so it would be naturally more rigid and not subject to the up/down motion of the jigsaw blade.

i'll dream of a plasma cutter and reach for my jigsaw. thanks for the tips. great end titles!

Where is a good place to get the sheet metal? What type of metal were you cutting with the jig saw? I'd like to make some spear heads for ice fishing. What types of sheet metal do you think would be good for ice fishing spear heads? Your video was very helpful. I wanted to start out small and the jig saw seems to be the best option so far.

Great vid thanks

Like a champ!!!!!

I have 6mm mild steel to cut, I to small 2.5" squares. I was looking at a chop/cut off saw, small mitre type

A consideration must be the thickness of waste from the cut? Could you mention this please (comparing different methods)

Great review. Thanks for posting. I have a little 6 in square piece of 16 gauge piece of sheet metal that I want to cut ‘C’ essentially out of. The corners of the C would be square and not a rounded. I have a grinder and a jigsaw and a circular saw for that matter. I wanna make the edges as straight as possible. Noticed you didn’t use any kind of guide for straight cuts. Any suggestions? Obviously the jigsaw I could secure a piece of wood to guide it. Not sure about how to straight cut on the grinder though other than by eye balling it. Thanks again!

I just draw a line with a paint pen and follow it. Take your time and you can get pretty straight

Love this! I literally set the metal detectors off at airports from all the grinding metal in my body.

If you had to cut sheets in as straight a line as possible would you use a jigsaw with a cutting guide?

Oxy-acetylene aka the gas axe. Cheaper than a plasma and handy for other things - I hear you can even weld with it! Get the right sized tip for smaller metal and see if your community college has a welding class. You can rent tanks or buy them. Note a lot of welding supply places will rent electric torches (mig, tig, plasma) but for plasma you are going to need a BIG air compressor which will also be 220v and a plasma is a one trick pony. A very nice pretty pony but if you just need it for that now and again use... You can also buy a small cheap table saw. I have one from maybe the 50's and you can use that with a metal blade to get some nice cuts. It is going to be hard on the table so you probably don't want to use your nice table saw for that. A small band saw is also handy but you can't cut big pieces with that and a wood version will need some kind of speed reduction and of course you need the right blades for the thickness of steel you are cutting. Cutting with plasma or with gas will often require more cleanup later for a finished edge and that can take as much time as cutting it nice with something else e.g. a jigsaw, circular saw, or sawzall.

Thank you, Sir. I'm gonna buy a jigsaw since I don't have one yet, for some reason. I'm also wondering what a bandsaw metal blade costs, but I need a jigsaw in my inventory al-freaking-ready.

What abut a Bi-Metal Hole Saw? I need to cut a round hole through 1 1/2 inch 16 gauge for a drain.

I have a Dremel multimax. Is there a blade for that to cut 22 gauge?

Wish that Miller was on my bench ha ha awsome video

I can smell the metal burning with the plasma cutter

Hahaha I can't believe I didn't think to use my jigsaw! Thanks

Thanks for the demonstrations. I was debating if getting a plasma cutter or not. After watching your video, I think I got a pretty clear answer.

Angle grinder works great but I have had 2 cutoff wheels hurt me and send me to the hospital for stitches. 1 exploded. Im always scared using it now when I have used it for years.

nice soundtrack!

That answers my question. I have two jig saws. And my metal isn’t that thick.

Plasma really silent. Thanks for video. Amazing

Thanks

Hey - what about a carbide tipped metal circular saw?

Thanks, anyone knows the maximum thickness of the metal sheet that i can cut with my jigsaw ? i have 4 mm thick metal sheet and i am still afraid to cut it with my jigsaw.
