what is your preferred way to trim stainless steel corners? - Byrd - 01-06-2025
Hey, I just started working with stainless steel and having troubles trimming the corners impeccably. Can anyone help me through this?

Sure, I went through the same when I first started. It's all about the right common hand tools. A nibbler, electric metal shears and tin snips are all good choices for the job.

Agree. But another addition would be a file for smooth finishing. It can greatly reduce sharp edges left by cutting.

I prefer hiring professionals for precise angles, but great advice. It's always important to file down sharp edges for safety purposes.
