Wish to use for small metal fabricating jobs. Would this be a good kit?

It would be fine for small jobs. Tanks would be too small for extensive use. Made for portability. I have a larger setup for bigger fabrication needs.

I use it for small jobs requiring more heat than a propane torch. I found it to be useful for small automotive jobs. If your fabricating jobs are light gauge metal, then you should be ok.

Hi, for the obvious Safety Police reasons this sort of question falls out of the scope of valuable answers.For cutting metal you should use a blade that is made for that purpose. They are not expensive.

It is a fine tool for precision work, I use it for small electronics, but I imagine it would be fine for jewelry making.

You may use it as wood and metal for. This tool is very handy for small jobs. That is, he is not a professional. For home and family.

This machine is not made for cutting metal. It can cut shapes out but with different software. The motor is 15000 rpm. It would require very very shallow cuts with alot of passes and the right bit. The other issue would be the software I-Picture. You can purchase other software (like: v-carve pro) or use a free g-code software.

Sorry, I used this tool to create a dimple on metal before soldering so I'm not familiar with the job you want to do.

I would highly recommend it for hobby/art and basic repair projects, but not necessarily for things people are going to be standing on. So maybe not. It does 1/8" mild steel very nicely, so might work for your fence/gate.

I use it to make anything from jewelry pendants to paperweights to switch covers. Actually the bigger the project, the quicker it actually sets. What are you planning on making? If you don't mind me asking :)

It's not super high quality, but if you're looking to turn some rough spindles, it should be fine. Definitely order spare parts like tool rest, etc., from Harbor Freight, they carry the same model. I don't know anything about ship building, but I hope this helps.

The kit has everything you need. If for some reason it will not....you can return it. Go for it.

What type of projects? If you're doing basic electronics/repairs this iron would be fine. For larger projects you might want one with a station and variable temps. I don't do much more than electronic project kits. This iron works fine for that.

I used it to repair a broken small wooden sculpture and it worked perfect for that. I haven't tried it for jewelry making, but imagine it should work.

I would not recommended it. At best it would be a SLOW process with lots of cutting oil. For that type of work you should get a full size drill press. About 1/8" is about all the steel I would try. This is designed more for small light metals and wood. The type of work jewelers, dental techs and crafter do.

Yes - we are using it on metal parts. Make sure you have the sanding belts and sanding disks that work metal.

Anything over 3mm should work fine, 4mm is ideal for smaller pieces I think

Short answer is yes. Long answer this shouldn't be your first kit. You won't be able to get the full potential out of it or appreciate it as much. Start out with a few mgs or even hgs first. Get practice painting and detailing. Tons of tutorials online for it.

I would think that this tool may be powerful enough, it has as much power as any dremel that I have owned, however, depending on how big a sheet you are talking about, there may be much better tools for the job. I find that cutting metal or some other materials that are flat and wide are often challenging with a tool like this. If you get the right fiber type disc and are patient enough it will probably be fine. If you have large sheets especially ones that are 1/4 inch thick, a skill saw, table saw or even miter saw with metal cutting blades will probably make life easier.Hope this helps... it is a really good tool for many things.
