2. Snips - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snips

   They were first developed to cut aluminum in the construction of aircraft, hence they are often referred to as aviation snips. They can handle aluminium up to 18 gauge, [2] mild steel up to 24 gauge or stainless steel up to 26 gauge. [3] There are three cutting styles for compound-action snips: straight cutting, left cutting, and right cutting.

3. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

   The larger the gauge number, the thinner the metal. Commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 7 gauge. Gauge differs between ferrous metals and nonferrous metals such as aluminum or copper. Copper thickness, for example, is measured in ounces, representing the weight of copper contained in an area of one square foot.

4. Shear (sheet metal) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_(sheet_metal)

   Large versions can cut sheet metal up to 12 gauge. [5] An alternative to the hand tools are hydraulically powered tools attached to heavy machinery. They are usually used to cut materials that are too bulky to be transported to a cutting facility, too big or dangerous for the hand tools and are stored at remote locations (e.g. mines, forests).

5. Bar stock - Wikipedia

   There are four types of materials available: O-1 tool steel, A-2 tool steel, A-6 tool steel, and 1018 steel (low-carbon or low-carb steel). Lengths are either 18 or 36 in (457 or 914 mm) long, various widths up to 16 in (406 mm) are available, and thicknesses range from 1 ⁄ 64 to 2.875 in (0.40 to 73.03 mm).

6. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

   MAPP gas can be used at much higher pressures than acetylene, sometimes up to 40 or 50 psi in high-volume oxy-fuel cutting torches which can cut up to 12-inch-thick (300 mm) steel. Other welding gases that develop comparable temperatures need special procedures for safe shipping and handling.

7. File (tool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_(tool)

   It is "tapered" if there is a reduction in its dimensions from its heel toward its point. A file may taper in width, in thickness, or both. [2] A "tang" is a protrusion at the heel, tapered, parallel sided, or conical, for gripping, inserting in a handle, or mounting in a chuck. [2] The cut of the file refers to how fine its teeth are. They are ...
