Mini Metal Silhouette Art Tiles
Use thin sheet steel or aluminum (18–22 gauge) and the 3" Type 1A cutting wheel to freehand or template-cut small animal, botanical, or geometric silhouettes. Mount the cutouts on stained wood tiles or magnets. Finish with patina, heat coloring, or spray enamel. The flat wheel profile helps with clean, straight lines and careful curves; the 1/16" thickness is forgiving for light-duty shaping.
Garden Markers and Plant Stakes
Cut narrow strips from sheet metal to form durable garden markers. Clip one end into a point for staking and round the top corners. Letter by stamping, engraving, or paint pen. For flair, cut simple leaf or herb shapes and weld/braze or epoxy to the top. The 3" wheel is ideal for quick, controlled cuts in thin stock.
Upcycled Cutlery Jewelry
Transform thrifted spoons and forks into pendants, earrings, and bracelet blanks. Use the cutting wheel to trim handles, create pendant cutouts, and separate tines for decorative effects. Deburr, sand, and polish. Add jump rings and chains. Small, precise cuts suit the mini grinder, and a 5-pack of wheels covers a full collection.
Tin Can Lanterns and Rocket Stoves
Cut patterned slots and windows into clean food cans to make lanterns, or cut feed/air ports to build a simple rocket stove from nested cans. The thin kerf of the wheel creates neat light patterns and efficient airflow channels. Fold or hem edges and finish with high-heat paint for durability.
Custom Pegboard Hooks and Brackets
Cut 1/8" steel rod and thin strip stock to length for bespoke pegboard hooks, small L-brackets, and cable organizers. After cutting, bend with a vise and hammer, then deburr and paint. Great for organizing craft rooms or vans with tailored storage pieces.
