can I cut 16 gage stainless steel with this tool?

I am not sure because have no clue how thick 16 gauge steel is but i bought and used it on duct work to cut access holes for duct cleaning. Much of the duct work i cut was very old and thick and never i had a problem. I highly recommend you use a drill with an actual electric plug. Cordless drills didnt work well for me.

You will want to by extra drill bits because it will probably break if your not careful

I don't know about stainless. Mine cut through 16gage carbon steel with no trouble at all.

You might be able to cut 16 gage, but be aware that this product is quite misleading. You have to attach your drill in order to use it. This makes it very awkward to use, so the more powerful your drill, the heavier the metal you can cut. After using this hole cutter a few times I have decided that it's generally not worth using.

Yes - that is it's main use for me - fairly precise cuts in steel, stainless, and cast iron. I also use it a bit with carbide die cutters - tons more power than a Dremel.

I haven't tried, but 16 gauge nails are generally reserved for a finish nailer as opposed to this brad nailer.

I don't think so, very thin metal like soup can it works well. 16 gauge would be thicker.

Yes, you could use this for cutting stainless. Easy on the pressure and lots of squirts and you'll extend your bit life.

I would definitely not use it on steel. It may cut light aluminium sheet, but I would check with the manufacturer first.

Yes. I don't think this will be the right tool. It only cuts in circles and is hard to cut where it breaks evenly.

yes , i use them on tool steels up to 65rockw. stainless is much softer but tough.

I basically use 24 and 26 gauge wire. The tools should be fine with larger gauge, but I would suggest getting a more heavy duty cutter for larger gauge.

Yes. Blades are expensive, but last & cut steel fast IF taken care of. Keep item CLAMPED TIGHT.

i only bent metal with is but i did bend up to 18 guage stainless steel with no problem if that helps you out

Yes, but will need to be cut. You will have to either be a handyman or hire one. The black caps pop off the end, cut 1/16 to 1/8" gauge steel then snap the ends back on. Thank you.

Should be fine. Those are steel blades and 16 degree angle, which is what this sharpener is for.

I am sure with practice. never tried it. here is the product description on the web site. Makita JN1601 5 Amp 16 Gauge Nibbler scroll to the bottom and will indicate the radius of cutting and gages of metal.

I am not that familiar with 16 g metal but if the thickness is less than 1/4 inch it will do the job other wise the saw may burn, you also should set a lower rpm.

No, It won't cut anything thicker than 1/16". I have cut plastic and fabric with mine.

Patti... I have never cut steel any thicker than 1/2 inch. Cutting tip works well for this. ~~don ~~
