Snip Set
Is there any reason you should not cut metal roofing with a saw rather that snips?
We have a lot of roofing to cut to fit and have been advised against cutting it with a circular saw with a metal cutting blade. Instead we were told to use nippers as sawing it makes it rust. We have done this in the past and have never had a problem, however this is for an equestrian facility that will have high visiblity with the outside public and we want to put our best foot forward.
Any suggestions as buying a high-quality set of powered nippers is expensive versus buying metal cutting blades.
I have cut both ways and also used a pneumatic snip shearer. I found the fastest way was a circular saw with an abrasive blade or a wood cutting blade on backwards. As for the rusting, have a small can of metal paint close at hand and just brush, roll or spray the end. This will decrease the chances of rust. I have had rust equally appear on the different cutting methods. Obviously wear good eye and face protection when using the saw. A good thick pair of leather gloves will also save some nasty cuts. Cuts from metal take longer to heal. Good luck!
