Makita JN1601 Nibbler 550 W

The Makita JN1601 nibbler is built for clean, burr-free cutting of mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium sheet and similar profiled or corrugated material. Makita rates the motor at 550 W with a stroke rate of 2,200 strokes per minute, cutting up to 1.6 mm in mild steel up to 400 N/mm2 tensile strength and 2.5 mm in aluminium up to 200 N/mm2. Its die rotates through 360 degrees, so it follows curved cuts as easily as straight ones, and at 1.6 kg it is light for sustained one-handed use. It suits roofing, ducting and general sheet-metal fabrication.
