Can I use it to cut sheet metal for a building roof?

Yes, it is one of the best. You won't be disappointed. Using this shears doesn't damage the metal finish like using a grinder does. Definitely the best way to go. Time saver too.

Blades want last mine broke on 5th use, have been using same set of blades in my Ketts double cuts for five years ,they will get dull and need to be replaced but I never had A blade snap off like these did with normal tradesmans use

yes,if the metal is pretty much flat,if not,a skill saw with plywood blade reversed would be better

Yes it will cut steel or aluminum. A regular wood cutting chop/miter saw will cut aluminum . We cut thousands of pieces of aluminum both ways

I don't see why not. But I also don't see why really. This is already a small sheet. But yeah, you should be able to cut it up..

I would assume that using the "metal" cutting blade it would cut steel! Wear eye protection!

I don't think so. This is metal. It would seriously scratch up your roof. All in all, in don't recommend this thing for anything. Too cumbersome and to hard to handle.

I would not cut steel with this blade. This is primary used for wood/laminate. This gives a very nice finished cut with ripping.

I suppose you could. It would produce a very smooth cut, but might be slower than a blade designed for wood. Blades designed for cutting wood would probably be less expensive than this blade, which is intended for cutting soft metals.

I don't think it would cut very well. It has a magnetic strip on the inside that is glued on so you would have to cut through that. The other material is a very hard plastic that might splinter

It has a small plastic wheel on each side of the bottom of the cutter assembly, so I don't think it would scratch a metal roof.

It could be used but it was me I,d spend the money on a wood cutting band saw, This model has cheap conponates as a wood band saws are well build.

I suppose you could. I use a Milwaukee 10" saw designed for metal . It is designed to keep the metal shards contained. After reading other peoples concerns regarding the weight and power of the saw, I would have to agree with them. I use it as a beam cutter and I do use a clamp guide with it.

No. This saw is designed for wood. If you want to cut through metal you should consider buying a hacksaw designed for cutting through metal.

Yes most definitely! I ran several fasteners into some wood to test it out before working on my metal roof and it functioned well. The screws for metal roofing go into wood anyways:-)

I have used this blade to cut aluminum decking. I understand that it is not to be used for ferrous metal or wood.

You can, but it is not recommended. Aluminum is too soft and it tends to overheat the carbide tips. I use it for occasional small cuts that need extreme accuracy. Just remember to keep the blade cool. You will greatly reduce the life of the blade.

I don't see why not. I have cut wood, metal and plastic with mine it it works just fine with each material.

I would definitely not use it on steel. It may cut light aluminium sheet, but I would check with the manufacturer first.
