   Snips, also known as shears, are hand tools used to cut sheet metal and other tough webs. It is a cutting tool. Workers use various types of snips, with the cutting edges being straight or curved to various degrees. The style of edge employed will depend if a straight sheer or some type of shapes cut is necessary.

3. Plasma cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_cutting

   Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 38 mm (1.5 in) thick steel plate, and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 150 mm (6 in) thick. [citation needed] Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized "cone" to cut with, they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes.

   Blanking is the operation of cutting flat shapes from sheet metal. The outer area of metal remaining after a blanking operation is generally discarded as waste. Size of blank or product is the size of the die & clearance is given on punch. It is a metal cutting operation. In blanking, metal obtained after cutting is not a scrap if it is usable.

5. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

   Sheet metal can be cut in various ways, from hand tools called tin snips up to very large powered shears. With the advances in technology, sheet metal cutting has turned to computers for precise cutting. Many sheet metal cutting operations are based on computer numerically controlled (CNC) laser cutting or multi-tool CNC punch press.

6. 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).

7. Cold saw - Wikipedia

   Portable cold saw with the chip catcher detached. A cold saw is a circular saw designed to cut metal which uses a toothed blade to transfer the heat generated by cutting to the chips created by the saw blade, allowing both the blade and material being cut to remain cool. [1]
