Obviously much faster than nibbling a circle but a banana tool can be a useful alternative. What's the edge finish like when using the rolling shear tool and how easy is it to change from gauge to gauge?
@glascol01 - Several things help to prevent sheet flex in this demonstration.
First, the machine's clamps are spaced over 30" apart while the rolling shear is never more than 20" away from the clamps. Second, the sheet is relatively large compared to the hole that is being cut ... there is a lot of solid material around the outside of the cut. Also, the material is 0.048" (1.2mm) thick steel ... thin enough so that it is easy to cut, but thick enough to be fairly rigid.
Too bad we can't use this on 11 ga.

how are you keeping the material from flexing or bending when using the rolling shear?
