can this tool cut 20 ga copper

I would assume that if you use a drill press and the appropriate bit it would cut 20 ga. copper.

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.

No. Though it gets very hot, this tool does not get hot enough for precious metals. Already tried with brass, it just does not work. You'll need a higher pressure tool with gas that comes out of tanks not cans.

I'm not sure the thickness of 22 gauge copper but its probably about 0.03 in, I used it for 0.04 in thick aluminum, it did cut it but it wasn't clean lots of burs and rough edges. The soft material also gummed up the cutting bit and had to stop and clean it often. If bet it will cut it, but is no a precision tool and there would be a pilot hole in the center of the disc.

I work on aircraft and it's able to cut 24 gauge aluminum with no problem. Copper i think is softer... So it should work.

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.

Any kind of metal? Probably not. However I have used it to cut the brass compression ring off the 1/2 inch copper pipe when I needed to change out a toilet valve. I can tell you with certainty that it will cut any thin,soft metal (copper, brass etc. Probably would cut any small screw). just go slow and let it cut. Too often people try to force a blade to cut. Go easy on the pressure and it'll cut. Hope this helps.

I use them with 24 all the time, and I cut 22 gauge for a friend's coil. No problem, and I highly doubt the clippers would have any trouble with 20 gauge.

I used it to cut 20 gauge metal pegboard, so it should have no problem with gourds.

If the material is steel it will cut it. I imagine it would also cut any metal that can conduct electricity although I hear that cutting aluminum requires the use of a gas or gas mix rather than compressed air to blow the slag out of the cut for a cleaner cut. You could still use compressed air but the cut will need refining more. The main issue with this cutter is that you must have a compressed air source with enough PSI and tank volume to keep up with the cutter. I got a DeWalt 200 PSI air compressor, I think it was 1.5 HP, to work with the cutter. Also, the air has to be dry. So I had to buy a dessicator to run the air through to give me very dry air. That cost me about $500. New compressor was about $250-300. Cutter itself is $1,500 so total is a little over $2,000. BUT it has made cutting steel SO MUCH EASIER. Just did a project that required many small holes in 3/16" steel angle iron. It would have taken me days and easily more than a dozen drill bits and messy oil, etc. to cut all those holes. Plasma cutter can cut each hole in about 3 seconds. i cut them all in a about 30 minutes.

Will not work with 18 ga nails. If you could see 18 and 15.5 side by side you would understand. Great tool for the money though

No. Dont listen to these other people. This drill is only good for wood and metal. Thats what the 20v means. For plastic you need at least a 40v drill. Its a much tougher material to drill in.

I have never cut copper with this blade, but from the good performance with various grades of aluminum alloys I wouldn't expect much problems with copper.

It would probably work fine with the existing crimp connector. To be sure, I might strip off a longer length of the 20ga, double it over and solder to make it fatter. However, be sure to not use a fuse higher rated than the capacity of your wire.

It could work, but this saw is designed for cutting metal or PVC. I used it to cut copper pipe. The blade is thin and it broke after about 10 uses, but I was really hard on it. It did what I wanted it to though.

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.

I couldn't strip smaller than 18ga wire, and that was a chore. Might not be the right tool for that.
