It'll cut almost anything, including metals, basically by sanding its way through a thin kerf instead of taking big chips out. Metals usually leave a nice (enough) finish, but I often have to "clean up" plastics quite a bit, using a light touch with the same tool. But beware! If you get it even the least bit sideways, it'll shatter without warning. No need to worry about kickback, only shrapnel... | |
