here in Missouri, we use the same material for pole barn siding, what we do is we stack them, pre drill all our holes so we only have to measure once then we cut all of them at once with a skilsaw with a metal blade. I think the most we cut at one time was like 15 panels though

@floridarusticrepairs 4 месяца назад

I've drilled holes for multiple sheets at once but never cut more than one at a time. Thanks for the tip!

I mostly use a dis cutter on sheet metal > but it has its draw back to~ > flying pieces of metal and sparks

@floridarusticrepairs Год назад

That does look like it would make a few sparks. :)

Electric shears are the best. Ive tried them all over 40 years. The simplest and the safest

@floridarusticrepairs 5 месяцев назад

Yes, and they pinch the material well.

@426superbee4 Год назад

Also the Nibblers make a dangerous ribbon of sharp metal

@floridarusticrepairs Год назад

Yes, they look like nice ornaments for a Christmas Tree that will cut you quick.

I use a circular saw with the blade on backwards. Works perfect

@floridarusticrepairs 10 месяцев назад

I've never heard of that method. Maybe that's why I still have all of my fingers. :)

@Sith_dude 10 месяцев назад

@@floridarusticrepairs that's why you don't put your fingers in the way. Duh!!!!

@floridarusticrepairs 10 месяцев назад

In all seriousness, thanks for the info. It sounds like a quick method and I had not heard of it before. I'm curious what it does with the edging. With galvalume it's important to pinch it to stop corrosion. I've got some spare material so I'm going to try it. @@Sith_dude

@tikijoe2848 10 месяцев назад

It's quick but it doesn't crimp so corrosion on the edges will happen which is why I don't cut with a circular saw. @@floridarusticrepairs

Nibbler just can't cut straight, I always use grinder and then touch up the edge with paint right away for rustproofing. Works very well and last long.

@floridarusticrepairs 8 месяцев назад

That's an interesting approach I hadn't heard. Thanks for the info!

@thomasirvin4159 5 месяцев назад

Also voids the warranty on the tin, for good reason.

@koro287 7 месяцев назад

No video ever does a 45 degree hip or valley cut with corrogated profile,anybody can cut across.

@floridarusticrepairs 7 месяцев назад

Now I'm curious. I'm going to be installing metal roofing on the garage soon. I'll shoot some footage. Thanks!

@koro287 7 месяцев назад

Sweet, i just brought a Diablo metal cutting blade for my skilly to do my hips,will let you know how that goes.@@floridarusticrepairs

@FreshGrey-pm4vw 4 месяца назад

no gloves huh?

@floridarusticrepairs 4 месяца назад

Good point. I generally won't work with galvalume sheets unless I've got gloves on.

@tracyleebrooks5347 Год назад

focus ..learn to use it

@floridarusticrepairs 11 месяцев назад

ironically, part of this went out of focus because I manually focused on a preceding shot and it didn't auto release. :) We were working fast on the roof so I didn't review the footage until it was uploaded.
