The need for cutting metal sheets can occur at home the master often enough. One of the ways to cope with the task is to purchase a special scissors attachment for a metal drill "Cricket". We will talk about the merits of this device today.
Why do I need a nozzle for a metal drill?
Many will ask why you need to purchase a special nozzle for a drill, if the metal can be cut in other ways, using, for example, a Bulgarian or cut-out scissors? To answer this question, let's consider each of these options in more detail. For example, it is possible to use a grinder for cutting metal only when this metal does not have a protective coating. The fact is that in the process of cutting the Bulgarian, quite a lot of sparks are formed, which fall on the coating and burn it. Thus, after cutting the Bulgarian metal tile, for example, some of it will be irretrievably spoiled. Cutting or shearing scissors, on the contrary, will cope with the task of cutting thin metal, which is called "hurray". But, such a tool is quite expensive, so it only makes sense to acquire it if the master will use it often and regularly. For home use it is much more reasonable to buy a nozzle for cutting metal, the purchase of which will cost 10 times cheaper than cutting pincers.
"Cricket" nozzle for cutting metal
According to the manufacturer's specification, the drill bit for the drill "Cricket" is designed for cutting sheet steel up to 1.5 mm thick. But as the experience of folk masters shows, it is able to cope with a thicker metal, for example, without special problems, cuts two sheets of 1 mm each at once. It is also easy with the help of "Cricket" to cut copper and aluminum up to 2 mm thick or stainless steel up to 1 mm thick. For ease of use, the nozzle is equipped with a handle, for which the nozzle is held by the second hand. The handle "Cricket" has the ability to rotate 360 degrees independently of the drill , which helps to cut not only flat sheets, but also curly, having an uneven or convex surface. It is also convenient that the nozzle has two cutting heads, each of which is possible to install a handle. This means that when blunting one cutting edge you can not rush to change the matrix, but simply put another head.
