No, this is only for card stock and laminate.It will not work on 18G aluminum its not strong enough.

I am sure with practice. never tried it. here is the product description on the web site. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TKRLS0 scroll to the bottom and will indicate the radius of cutting and gages of metal.

Yes, I have cut through multiple aluminum sheets that are pretty thick. But you may want to get better bits than what comes with the kit.

This unit turns too fast to cut aluminum. I think you would run the risk of melting the aluminum into the bit.

Probably not. Thickest we cut was 12 gauge aluminum. 1/8" thick is 8 gauge. May cut a few feet but would probably jam and burn up if you had a lot to do.

I don't know first-hand, but my guess is that it will cut 22 ga. aluminum or tin. Steel may be a bit tougher, but stainless steel will probably be next to impossible. These shears are not up to Fiskar standards.

Yes. You need the correct gauge that will attach to this cutter. That can be found here:

I would assume that using the "metal" cutting blade it would cut steel! Wear eye protection!

Don't know if the saw will work or not. We like the job it does on our log projects. However, I would think you would need a metal cutting blade to cut aluminum.

I imagine you can. You just need a pair of tin snips. The aluminum is 1/32 - 1/16 thick - very easy to cut. In fact, you should be able to cut tabs around the edges fo your cut and fold them with a pair of pliers to make a smoother edge. And this is a much better pan than the plastic pan.

yes and you will not be disappointed ! I suggest you take a model with the small notch at the base for the big cut.

Share similar response before: you may wish to use an aluminum cutting tool.

Yes. You just have to trim the excess with tin snips. Seal the whole thing with aluminum tape before placing the two sides. It says 0-18" because you can slide the two closer together but it doesn't mention the trimming involved. Mine works great!

Only used mine for cutting trim and hardwood flooring. Good cuts but no idea on how it would work with hardened aluminum

The herculiner label says it will, haven't used it on aluminum but I wouldn't hesitate to.

go to oregons web site and they have a chart. I found not all 18" blades are alike.
