First and foremost, let's talk about safety. Imagine metal shards being thrown at your face or being subjected to ear-piercing screeching sounds. Not a pleasant experience, right? Using a circular saw to cut sheet metal puts you at risk of injury and potential damage to your eyes. Trust us, it's not worth it.
Secondly, let's consider the blade itself. The action of a circular saw cutting through metal generates a significant amount of heat, which can disturb the protective paint on the steel. This can lead to rusting and void any warranty you may have. So, if you want to avoid installation errors and ensure your warranty remains intact, steer clear of using a circular saw.
Lastly, the accuracy of cutting metal with a circular saw is far from ideal. Unlike snips, which offer easy control, a circular saw can be difficult to handle when cutting through steel. The unforgiving nature of steel makes it hard to correct your cutting line, often resulting in binding, twisting, or even chipped teeth on the blade. Save yourself the hassle and skip using a circular saw for cutting sheet metal.
Now, before you dismiss the circular saw altogether, there is one exception. If you need to cut metal into smaller pieces for disposal purposes, you can use a circular saw. However, make sure to wear safety glasses and ear protection, as it will be loud and messy.
So, remember, when it comes to cutting sheet metal, put away that circular saw and opt for safer and more accurate alternatives. Stay tuned for more insightful videos on ASM 101, where we provide you with the best tools and resources for all your metalworking needs.
