and today I want the live stream in the
East garage want to be doing we were
some of our most popular cutting tools
some of you may not even known existed
like that throw this year there's a
straight throat this year we're going to
go over some simple tools are definite
must-have for an auto restoration
electric shears snip scut off wheels air
nibblers and and a reciprocating Saul's
so let's get started
so like I said today we're gonna be
going over a bunch of tools that you're
that you're gonna need a restoration or
just for any kind of metal fab and
someone maybe you didn't know existed so
we're gonna show them to you show you
some examples
we're going to cut some metal with a lot
of these tools including the plasma
cutter but first let's take a look at
some of the stuff we've got here
I'm some stuff we're probably not going
to use we got two forms of shears
pneumatic shears and electric shears i
prefer the electric shears these will
cut up to 18 gauge and we're going to
we're going to use these in a couple
minutes right here we have the pneumatic
shears these will cut 20 gauge we have
cut off wheel this one's pretty unique
you can see how long it is but another
interesting part about this cut-off
wheel is that the is that you can
reverse the direction so typical spend
one direction with this one you can
adjust knob and spin the other way which
is nice and keep you from if you're in a
tight spot where you're reaching back in
the lengths nice to reach in but it's
also nice that you can switch directions
to sparks are flying in your face as
well as adjusting the direction to make
it easier to cut the metal you know
typical if you're doing restoration have
a cut-off wheel like that and here's one
you don't have this in your restoring a
car you need one of these little
reciprocating saws this one here's got
some actually fairly aggressive teeth on
it's probably a 24 usually produce about
a 32 and if you can get it and see that
that's really aggressive we sell it
we offer a few different blade some
tooth two sizes so you're going to
generally want to find one but the
reason these are so nice i'll go over
here to the camaro
I'm your pricing videos we're cutting
stuff out anything on a restoration is
about the only place you can get in but
the only tool we could really use to cut
to cut something like that out
it's great for cutting out patches so if
you're restoring a car
def absolutely you're gonna need one of
these so and if you see live videos this
is one tool you're going to see used a
lot and we're also going to show you the
electric shears going to give you some
tips on left and right cut aviation
snips it does not mean they cut to the
left and if you want to cut to the right
so we're gonna show you that and we're
going to go over an air nibbler which is
a pretty cool tool especially doing some
patchwork so first thing we're going to
cut the metal with the shears we're
going to start here with a straight
sheer now this is actually a throat this
year and got a bolt in here for safety
that means that with this year not only
can you do something like this we put a
piece of metal in here to do so not only
can you just simply slice a piece of
metal like that now this will cut metal
up to 11 gauge in length and it's going
to cut shorter shorter pieces up to 3 16
cool feature you can actually cut rod
got a hole right here you can see that
so watch the lens here actually because
it will spit this piece out so if you've
got some rod you can actually sheer rod
up to 3 16 which makes it really cool so
but like i said its throat 'less so I'm
gonna grab another piece here and show
you what that means is it's not just 11
pool when you're done like i just did
you can get it set up here right and you
can work it pull as you can see you can
keep pushing and by this design you can
see it pushes the metal down here and
out of the way so you can just keep
going and pushing the metal so
if you had a couple friends helping you
you would actually be able to cut say
like a whole four-by-eight sheet you
could just push a whole four-by-eight
sheet through this and just keep cutting
and i just cut in half and cut off
whatever you need
so it's pretty cool tool that we have
here at Eastwood now something similar
is this economy throw this year often
known as a Beverly shear it's got a
safety pin
I mean I should show the safety pin back
and so with this just like the other
sheer you can cut straight length we
have replaceable jaws form you know you
cut metal jaws are going to wear out so
I know this isn't the most exciting
thing watching cut metal but you can see
that you can make a priest and like the
other one around you can see it's the
same thing
this is also a throat let's design so
it's like like the streets here it's
pushing it down out of the way so again
like the streets here
this means you can also cut like a whole
four-by-eight sheet if you wanted to
because it's just going to keep pushing
it out of the way and keep moving it now
this one you're only going to cut up to
about
also arrested this would be fine
18-gauge stainless where's this where's
the stretch here you can cut you you can
cut up to a11 gauge and 316 small wits
but another cool feature about this is
that you can cut marks a one to make a
wheel well now this obviously is a
miniature version but if you go to our
YouTube channel you'll be able to see
where we did a video where we cut out a
full-size arch so like if you were
making wheel tubs would be the side of
the side arch and you would have your
actual tub over the top of the tire here
there's a miniature version because I
don't you guys have to sit through me
cutting this all day
so what we're gonna get started here and
you're going to see how it works with a
glaring here I should've done this in a
different color the blacks easy for you
guys to see I'm gonna try to do it as
fast as they can and actually you can
pull the handle you can take off bigger
pieces then you would think usually but
you're going to start seeing it seeing
this metal because the way this works
going to start seeing it come out the
back
I can get camera and up if you guys are
watching we really want to know what
time is the best time for you guys to
watch live videos is as you can see now
you can see how this is working right
here you comin out the back
I don't want to get too screwed up here
because i'm starting to try to show and
talk more than concentrated but anyways
yeah what time want to know is at 9am is
it noon is it is it three in the
afternoon those are the three basic
times we can do these livestreams if you
saw on friday we actually did one
working on that Camaro we just solved so
we just came to live so there you go
so I'm sure wasn't most exciting you saw
but right there would be an arch
four-wheel or grin like I said it's a
miniature version but if you were making
real wells you know that with this one
told that you make straight cuts we
could also make an arch like that and he
said you can make pretty good straight
cuts too
so all right what's next
Oh electric shears and electric years so
these these are another probably
definite must-have tool in a restoration
if these things are great i actually the
first groups the first pair i bought for
the first the only i should say the only
electric chairs i bought here at
Eastwood and I never used it before and
i bought two sets of spare jaws I think
that was three years ago I don't think
I've ever put don't think I've ever put
another set of Jaws in them and I've cut
many many many feet doing patch panels
I've cut a roof off of a car a rusty
roof
I really thought the rusty roof would
that's what would wear the jaws I mean
understand like not wearing brand-new
madhulika trust you think it would but
these things are these things are great
not only for this but for cutting metal
awful car so everything is it does take
out a fairly wide area but we'll show
you how there's usually when you get
started you only got to watch is this a
lot of times I just try to bend it all
the way to try to get the coil
and if you get to just coil like that
I'm have cut any foot length and you end
up with a coil about this long just a
perfect coil and they work that smooth i
don't think there's any reason to keep
the show cut huge pieces but so like I
said these are available in electric and
pneumatic i prefer the electric because
you're always near a plug
I like the way they cut / pneumatic and
the electric ones have this feature here
so say you're in a tight spot you can
loosen up these drawers here and we do
sell replacement jaws so you can
actually so if you want so if you need
to get an area where you couldn't get in
you can actually adjust the jobs like
this i'm probably working too fast for a
cameraman here today so or you can turn
back like that in all it is just like
this one
well tighten it back up so the next grab
him doesn't think I private me though it
doesn't blame that doesn't blame me or
bring the tool forbid could so guess
what else we got we got the air nibbler
yet show you that now
oh and we got the snips to grab grab all
bringing stuff over so we grabbed the
air nibbler
I've never seen one of these these are
pretty cool that they're cool because
you can make a lot of we get in here
they work so if you want to go straight
line you can cut a straight line with
them
if you need to cut a piece out you can
make really sharp turns like i just did
they're doing i tried doing here so you
can really sit so you never seen one of
these deaths that's what makes these
things are so
so and like I said save you in the patch
panel car you can drill a hole put this
in the hole and start from there so
that's another nice way cool tool got it
you know when you have it
yeah you'll definitely find uses for it
so now the snips our last thing here is
that a lot of people think left means
you're cutting the left-right means
you're cutting the right now
red is left it's not right red left is
read some people remember because the
words are shorter
I remember because green light you can
turn right on a green light right means
go green means go green means right if
that's too complicated for you you can
just look on the handle here for the are
or the handle here for the l and it'll
tell you which way
so basically got a piece of metal so
these are right cut that means that was
gonna come off to the right when you
hold them up get them turn around here
and hold them you're going to see what I
mean you see how the metal comes off to
the right so we're going to sew so say
you got this piece close and you just
need to trim it down so you closed your
going to trim it down you would use
these on this side to trim it closed its
gonna peel it off the left cut are going
to do the opposite am I am i working too
fast here if I probably am so the left
cut sakes it's AIT's a-you did some
you're making a patch panel and you
you're going to cut them a little long
and short-term down because you're not
going to add metal to the bench finally
get to start over so you would do this
and I said see how it's going to the
left and that's the there's a simple
little tip for using these aviation tin
snips and we got a bunch if you go to
eastwood not only do we have these we
have offset ones so so they're pretty
cool for getting the spots and we have
some straight cuts which some people
like and the last thing I guess we have
any questions before we get plasma
cutter now don't forget tomorrow we have
a powder coating demo we're going to
show you at the end of this video we're
going to show you
some of the stuff that we're going to
demo tomorrow we did some stuff ahead of
time to show you and we're going to do
it again tomorrow during a demonstration
and also i'm at the end of this video if
you're watching on YouTube recorded
we'll have links for this stuff so you
can visit eastwood and check it out more
but is there anything Scott you're
getting all answering right now I've
been able to answer all right here on
the computer and it appears to be an
animus that everybody wants us to stay
at three o'clock four times ok and i
forgot to mention Scott he's over there
were down a person today on camera so i
was doing double duty to start off but
Scott he's our lead text when you call
in here
he's the person you're gonna you're
gonna get to talk to and he's usually
answering questions during his live
streams so plasma cutting up some other
shades on really simple plug it in this
diversity cut 60 it runs on 240 down
below we got a verse 40 vs cut 40 is
great for auto restoration gonna cut
sheet metal up to 38 when plugged into
20 the first cut 40 is nice for a lot of
people because they're operating on to
talk to 40 or 120 there there's a record
that all that all alighted plug it in
your standard like 120 volt household
current now you will not be cutting his
thick but I got the first cut 60 i love
it it's great for any anything you're
going to an auto restoration from sheet
metal all the way up to if you gotta cut
tabs and brackets for frame or anything
you're doing and if you decide you need
to build a bridge it'll it'll handle
that too because we have cut seven
eighths we use a livestream recently and
we cut everything from I think we're
coming five-eighths that day without any
problem to sheet metal in one setting so
there's really nothing complicated about
using a plasma cutter and you get to
wear cool shades
when you're using it so anyways so I got
some 8-inch here just to show you so if
you're not familiar we've got a lot of
videos using it and you will see is
cutting up to about three quarter-inch
steel plate with with the plasma and as
you notice we're cutting here on this
plasma table so if you think about
getting a plasma already have one you
know tables like this existed
the cool thing is you can cut right on
it so if you're cutting some thick it's
not falling off the end of your table
and put a big dent in your cement and
these slats are replaceable
so when you cut through and you can just
flip them over so you can get the double
the life and then when they're out you
get work / right here at Eastwood or you
could go probably by you can just go by
the metal make your own if you really
wanted to but i recommend getting them
here at least with it
alright let's get started to cut this ok
so here we go we got a ground cable
hooked up already
there you go or if you've got a really a
piece off it falls down to the flat
anyway that I could cut off of a longer
piece so now we're gonna break the sheet
metal reading and
like I said one setting it couldn't be
easier
Oliver plasmas work the same the first
cut 6240 or the 20 i definitely say you
know the forties a decent one if you get
the 60 get to 60 just because it's you
know if you decide you want to get into
some thicker metal fab little 278 and it
will do up to seven eighths so i guess
it if we don't have any questions Scots
and we're going to show you i will show
you what's going on with a powder
coating tomorrow because this is an
absolute must-see live video because we
have chrome power and everything else so
let's walk over and check that out some
examples here
alright so what we got here is we've got
this valve cover we did first was coated
in white and an orange is on the left
side the right side is just over chrome
so that's the same color that's the same
color orange chrome just was over white
one is over the chrome right here is a
the blue same thing a rally blue one
size overweight oversized over chrome
and right here is our chrome powder and
tomorrow at three o'clock will be
spraying that chrome powder and show you
how good it looks so make sure you tune
in tomorrow at three
