Does anyone use a foot shear to cut aluminum?
If a foot shear will cut up to 20 guage mild steel, what thickness of aluminum can it cut?

Can you cut .040? .080?

Thanks

We use a foot shear to cut aluminum all the time.
About the thickest we cut regularly is .050 with
no problem. .080 might give a bit of a problem.

That's what I've always heard called a stomp shear. I use mine all the time to cut up to 080 aluminum. It will cut thicker stuff I guess but I don't weigh enough to do it, ...yet. But that's a whole other topic.

P.S. I also use it to cut 10mm coroplas. Works great and always straight.
