How to manually cut letering out of sheet metal.

The way of cutting sheets with nibbler is to cut punches out of a tiny metal sheet and repeat the process until you get your desired dimension. Another tool is a plate shear for cutting slightly. I have seen a few metal cutting tools such as snips and nibblers but they cut through the metal to get to their point of interest which i only want the lettering to be cut. One tool is a foot shear or a jump shear.

There are three tools that kevin caron uses a lot to get a precise cut from a thin piece of metal. Apart from hand nibbler there are electric nibbler drill powered nibbler and pneumatic nibblers and so on.
