0 Richard Farrant Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 No, but bought an air nibbler at GDSF and it was cr*p, works on thin guage sheet which I would not be using on MV's. So my advice is check the max. thickness it will work with. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jessie The Jeep Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I've got a purpose made nibbler, not a drill adaption, but can't remember the make. It might be Bosch. Works well, but I often found that in its excitement to eat steel, it used to pull itself through the metal and often got away on corners or where you wanted to stop. Will have a look for it tomorrow. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rick W Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Been using a Sealey one for the metalwork on the Morris, so much easier than shears! Worth getting a spare head with it though! I can supply if you have any troubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 CanadianScottish Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Best metal nibbler I've found is.....Rust :evil: OK I'll get my coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tony B Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Good old Monodex cutter cheap cheerful and can be controlled like scissors. Only really any use up to 18 gauge though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hardyferret Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 well I bought one of the Turner drill mounted nibblers from Machine mart, and... Top Banana :banana: :banana: :banana: :dancinggirls: :banana: :banana: I wanted to cut box profile cladding sheet, and couldn't justify over £200 for a proper electric nibbler like roofer/cladders use. This little thing whistles through clad sheet :schocked: Well impressed well done Machine Mart :-D HF :angel: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 R Cubed Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I have got one and have used it quite a bit but is limited to 1.5mm ish and the pins do go blunt, also bit slow. If you want to cut up to about 4mm thick get the Machine Mart Plasma King plasma cutter I have the 25 and wish I bought it years ago. You need a min of 30Amp supply for it and a fairly hefty compressor 14cfm min but if you have all that and can afford one you will use it all the time, I do, you can cut mild steel, stainless and ally. The best thing about it is it will punch through in the middle of a sheet and then you can cut what ever shape you want. :-o In my opinion its the best thing since a mig welder !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
