You can make a good cutting blade for sheet metal roofing out of a cheap circular saw blade. You can buy the green and reds separately and even angled ones that are helpful. I don't think you need a set like this, I honestly have never used the yellow ones. You can try different brands, I have, but Wiss is a little more money, but still my favorite. But I personally wouldn't use it.Ĥ - Aviation snips for little notches you might need to make. If you want something even better, but I'd say requires a little more experience to use:ģ - A grinder. Considering its 29 gauge, you should be able to cut through like paper. The 12" Andy snips from this page are one of the best you can find. I don't know how good they would be, but for a one time thing, it may be worth it.Ģ - Regular long snips. You can buy "similar" tools on Amazon, for a lot less. Trumpf Tools (second picture) also have great shears, but you can't buy directly. If you're a professional, this is what you need to buy. Shears work fine while nibblers are designed more specifically for corrugated or curved panels. These are in my opinion, the best tools you can buy. There's a couple of different tools you can use:ġ - Electric shears and / or nibblers. Should I just use hand-snips? Buy an drill attachment? A metal blade in a circular saw? Buy an electric- or air-powered tool? Try to rent something? Maybe the roofing dealer will loan a cutting tool? Hot and will adhere to the surface of the panels and these will rust.īe sure all filings are removed from the surface as they will rust and Second, the filings coming off the blade are No burrs are left on the ends of the panel. Use of a saw, the reality is many people use a power saw in some Steel roofing and trim should be cut with nibblers, tin snips or a I do own red (left) aviation snips, but for this much cutting, I think I'd buy yellow (straight) snips for ease of use. I'd need to buy fittings and an air hose, though. My friend is storing an air compressor with me, so air-powered tools are an option. All are straight, and nearly all are square to the edge of the material. I figure a total of about 60 linear feet of cuts. I'll also need to cut the trim pieces to length. I'll need to trim all the panels them to length (taking off an inch or so). The roofing I'm using is 3ft wide, and length is in 1ft increments. The roof is a simple gable, 20ft long, with 8ft rafters. Wee! But I'm not sure how I should cut it.
