Will it punch stainless steel sink metal? The metal is medium gauge.

What is medium gauge? That isn't even a measurement. Go buy a little metal disc that has slots of of increasing size around the perimeter. Each slot will have a corresponding set of sizes, one being gauge and the other actual thickness in thousandths of an inch. Now that you have this number you can follow the manufactures literature on if it can punch through the metal you have. Don't be ignorant....GET EDUCATED and be a useful individual.

It would depend on how hard the metal is. I was able ti cut through a steel refrigerator door hinge, but it didn't do well. Softer metals like aluminum have been no problem though.

I got the brushed nickel mounting ring but I'm sure if you get the correct size for the sink it should work.

Have not tried it on anything but metal -- does wonders on stainless steel sinks!!

I haven't tried it on a stainless sink but tried on a copper sink and it turned out fabulous.

I've used it for soft drawn copper up to 7/8", and 3/4" thinwall aluminum with success. The bending collars are made of heavy plastic and stood up to the copper and aluminum. You may be able to bend thinwall stainless but due to the hand actuated ratchet and plastic collars anything larger than 1/2" would be too much stress.

I just tried this on my SS kitchen sink ( we have very hard water) I'm not prepared to recommend this product for SS. However I highly recommend for Fine silver tableware, copper, brass etc

I have not tried this. It will depend on the size of the piece of metal and how deeply it is buried in the food. If you are talking about small pieces 2-3 mm in size no. Larger pieces 10 +mm yes it should.

The gauge indicates the thickness of the metal to the sink. And a good one too!

I do not think it will. It is stainless steel with no indication that the bottom is magnetic grade SS. If I had a proper magnet to verify I would, sorry!

Don't know why you would want to use a punch--the material is too thick. Very easy to drill holes through the bottom, though. Maybe 3/8" for your purposes.

Possibly. If you had the right bit for stainless steel. This sink is awesome!

I am not sure about metal work. It certainly is strong enough but I would check with the manufacturer. They have a customer service line at Rikon that would most likely answer your question without doubt. You would have to purchase a chuck separately.

I don't know. I will try it tomorrow and let you know. I have a double stainless sink. I don't know why it wouldn't, but I will experiment with it.

The machine does not actually cut the metal. It will emboss or etch depending on what plate you use. It will cut through paper and card stock. The Big Kick will work with sheet metals up to about 26 gauge. You will find many manufactured blanks; or you can buy sheets and design your own. They do not have to be Vintaj metals only.

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