Project Ideas
Business
On‑Site Corrugated Roof/Siding Cut Service
Offer mobile cutting for skylights, exhaust vents, and penetrations on installed corrugated or trapezoidal panels. Keep spare replacement dies on hand to guarantee fast, clean cuts with minimal distortion, then flash and seal the opening as an upsell.
Custom Metal Sign & Branding Shop
Produce logos, marquee letters, and perforated brand panels from 16‑ga sheet. The profile nibbler with fresh dies excels at intricate internal cuts and long curves; pair with finishing (deburr, powder coat, standoffs) for a turnkey product line.
HVAC/Duct Retrofit Openings
Specialize in cutting precise openings in existing ductwork and thin sheet housings for takeoffs, sensors, and access panels. A stocked set of replacement dies reduces downtime, enabling same‑day service contracts for commercial facilities.
Tiny Home/RV Metal Modifications
Provide window, vent, and shore‑power inlet cutouts in corrugated aluminum or steel skins. The profile‑ready die allows clean work without warping panels, and you can bundle sealing, trim installation, and compliance checks.
Nibbler Maintenance & Rental Package
Rent out DW897‑series nibblers with a consumables program: replacement dies, punches, and scheduled maintenance. Contractors get reliable, sharp tooling on demand; you earn recurring revenue through subscriptions and service calls.
Creative
Corrugated Metal Silhouette Wall Art
Use a heavy-duty profile nibbler with this replacement die to cut skyline, wildlife, or geometric silhouettes into corrugated roofing panels. The die helps maintain crisp, burr‑free edges along ridges and valleys so the finished art mounts cleanly to walls or fences.
Custom Vent and Register Covers
Cut decorative patterns into 16‑ga steel or aluminum blanks to create unique HVAC return grilles and register covers. The profile die lets you follow flutes and raised sections without distortion, producing professional-looking pieces you can powder‑coat or paint.
Upcycled Drum Lanterns
Repurpose 55‑gallon or smaller steel drums (typically thinner than 16‑ga) by nibbling repeating patterns, stars, or logos into the shell. Add LEDs inside for dramatic lanterns or patio lights; the fresh die keeps cuts clean and reduces edge cleanup.
Garden Privacy Screens
Transform corrugated panels into privacy screens and trellises by cutting motif windows (leaves, waves, chevrons). The profile-compatible die tracks over ribs for smooth curves, and the panels can be framed in angle iron for a polished look.
Marquee Letters and House Numbers
Lay out large letters/numbers on sheet metal and nibble the negative spaces for bold, high‑contrast signage. A sharp replacement die preserves tight inside corners and clean arcs, ready for backlighting or wall mounting.
