Makita metal shears, nibblers and metal cutters cut sheet metal, roofing, ducting and light steel without the sparks and heat of an abrasive disc. They are used by roofers, ducting installers and fabricators.
How to choose
- Shear: Straight shears such as the JS1601 and JS3201 make fast straight and curved cuts in flat sheet up to the gauge shown in the title.
- Nibbler: Nibblers (JN1601, JN3201, DJN161) punch through the sheet and can cut corrugated roofing and tight curves without distorting the edge.
- Metal cutter: Circular metal cutters such as the 4131, DCS553 and CS002G use TCT blades for clean cuts in steel profiles.
- Capacity: 1.6mm (14Ga) models suit roofing and ducting. 3.2mm (10Ga) models handle thicker plate.
