A new generation of metalworkers has evolved thanks to the development of the nibbler drill attachment. The drill attachment has the ability to convert any standard electric drill into a powerful machine capable of precision metal cutting. This product is specifically intended to provide a bridge between manual snip type machines and large and costly mechanical plate cutters for both the DIY enthusiast and the contractor.
With its unique punch-type operation, the nibbler produces very little to no heat or spark while removing small amounts of material in a single pass. This creates a smooth, free of burs surface that will require minimal additional filing after completion of the cut. In comparison, traditional circular blades or saws create excessive heat and sparks, creating safety concerns for workers operating in tight areas near flammable products.
One major difference of this particular nibbler drill attachment model is the inclusion of a premium adjustable ergonomically-designed adapter handle. This component affords the operator with two-hand control over the cutting path. The drill itself supplies the rotational force required to complete the cut, while the handle provides the user with the ability to guide the nibbler along any line or shape possible (circles, ovals, etc.) and maintain a constant velocity. These features are extremely beneficial for those working with varying types of sheet metals including; iron, steel, copper, aluminum plates.
When considering compatibility and ease-of-use, these aspects were at the forefront of designing this product. The attachment is compatible with virtually all standard corded or cordless drills via attaching the drive shaft directly into the drill chuck. As a result, users do not have to rely upon heavy-duty pneumatic systems or specialized power saws. Once attached, the nibbler can easily cut through light to moderate gauge metals using standard operating procedures. Specifically, it is able to cut through iron sheets up to .047 inches thick and stainless steel up to .0315 inches thick. Due to the consistency of the cuts produced by the nibbler, the finished surface is always professional-looking regardless of complexity of the shape being created. Additionally, due to its ability to reverse direction mid-cut, users now have 360 degrees of flexibility when cutting internal sections of a plate or following a curved template.
As with any tool used in a workshop environment, durability and maintenance play important roles in extending its useful life cycle. Built from hardened alloy steel, the nibbler's cutting head can withstand repeated impacts from metal-to-metal contact. As opposed to grinding away metal debris into powder and the nibbler removes only minuscule chips of metal with each stroke. This contributes to maintaining a cleaner work area while keeping the tools cutting edge sharp for extended periods of time. Using a few drops of cutting oil reduces friction and extends the usable lifespan of the components as well. Regardless if you are a hobbyist completing a weekend craft project or a service technician who needs a reliable portable tool for field applications and this attachment provides efficiency and versatility that other cutting techniques simply don't offer.
To summarize, the nibbler drill attachment equipped with an adapter handle is a vital piece of equipment for inpiduals seeking professional quality results in their metal fabrications. It makes what was once considered a specialized task available to anyone having access to a standard power drill. With a combination of an electric motors' strength combined with an ergonomic handle and precision punching head, this tool ensures that your metal plates are cut cleanly and safely every time.
