Tinsmithy Practicals with Straight Snips
Early ITI sheet metal jobs include cutting strips and rectangles to a scribed line, then forming them into a tray, a scoop or a cylinder with a seam. Students mark out on Aluminium Sheet with a Steel Rule and cut with the snips. They fold the edges or join the seam with the Riveting Tool.
Teachers can show the difference between snip types by cutting the same curve with these and with the right-cut Cutting Aviation Snips. Straight snips manage wide curves well, while tight curves are easier with the aviation pattern.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I choose straight snips over aviation snips?
Choose straight snips for long straight cuts and wide curves in thinner sheet, where the long blades give a fast, clean cut. Aviation snips use a compound lever for thicker sheet and for tighter curves in one direction.
What do 20 gauge and 22 gauge mean in millimetres?
Here 20 gauge cold rolled steel is 0.91 mm and 22 gauge stainless steel is 0.84 mm. Gauge numbers run backwards, so a bigger number means a thinner sheet.
Can I cut aluminium or copper sheet with these snips?
Yes. Soft sheets such as aluminium, copper and brass cut more easily than steel. Keep wire, nails and hardened strip out of the jaws, as they nick the blades.
Why does my cut edge have small notches?
Notches come from closing the blades fully at the end of each stroke. Stop each stroke before the tips meet, then open the snips and push the blades further into the cut.
