## Questions & Answers

**Q: can I cut 16 gage stainless steel with this tool?**
A: I am not sure because have no clue how thick 16 gauge steel is but i bought and used it on duct work to cut access holes for duct cleaning. Much of the duct work i cut was very old and thick and never i had a problem. I highly recommend you use a drill with an actual electric plug. Cordless drills didnt work well for me.

**Q: Can I cut through wood with this?**
A: Your bit only comes through about 1/4-5/16.  I would be afraid you may have a hard time.   I think it would cut wood ok just not deep. Sheet metal is very thin 21 gauge

**Q: Can it cut circles in 20 gauge stainless steel?**
A: According to Malco website, this item is rated to cut up to a 20 gauge maximum in GALVENIZED metal. I am not sure if stainless would be considered a harder substance. Since 20 gauge is the maximum, I would use this product very slowly and carefully while attempting to cut. I would also have additional bits on hand in case it should break in the middle of a project.

**Q: How well does it cut sheet plastic?**
A: I've never cut plastic with mine, but I have cut hundreds and hundreds of holes in sheet metal. My guess is that it would work fine in plastic IF you take your time and let the bit do the cutting. Pressing too hard or attempting to force the bit might cause the plastic to get hot ant melt against the bit. That would be a mess.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing!
*by T***N on September 25, 2024*

I needed to drill out a lot of 4" holes in tin on my metal shop for lights, thought a carbide hole saw would work... don't even try it. I used a 1/2 bit as a starter hole and then used my Makita nibbler, it sucked but worked. I then saw this tool used on some social media post by a guy that builds barndos for a living. Bought this and holy crap, I will forever use this for holes in tin. Cuts like butter even on my thicker gauge PBR panels. PERFECT holes, fast and easy. Built well, heavy duty. Genius idea! GET ONE!
