Sheet Metal Cutting Head Fits Any Electric, Pneumatic Or Cordless Drill FARM SHOP Tools 24-3-40 Rodman & Co., Inc., 2823 N. San Fernando Blvd., Burbank, Calif. 91504 (ph 800 228-1806 or 818 846-9494; fax 9681): "Our new æNibbler' sheet metal cutting head fits any electric, pneumatic or cordless drill with a speed range of 1,500 to 3,000 rpm's. It cuts steel, brass, copper, aluminum, plastic, and fiberglass with no distortion, jagged edges, or sparks. The unit's main body attaches to the drill chuck and comes with a grip handle on one side and the cutting mechanism û which uses a punch and die - on the other side. As the drill turns it operates a mechanism inside the body, which uses the rotary action of the drill to move the punch up and down. The punch rides up and down inside a die that has a gap in it. You grab the handle to guide the gap into the material you want to cut. The design allows the unit to cut corrugated, round or flat stock. "The punch can't be sharpened due to the unique design of the cutting head. However, you can lengthen the life of the punch by rotating the die to a new position to provide a new cutting edge. Simply loosen a set screw under the die and turn it, then tighten the set screw back up. Four different positions are available. "There are other sheet metal cutters on the market, but they're self-contained units that are large and cumbersome and hard to maneuver. Our unit keeps the price down by using an existing power source û your drill. Self-contained models are designed so that only one edge of the punch can be used. And they're much more expensive, selling for $400 to $800. Our unit sells for $179.95 plus S&H. Extra punches and dies are available, as is a bench holder bracket that lets you mount the unit on a bench."
