Not all of us
may want to try our hand at metalworking, but once immersed quite well into DIY
it might start to sound appealing to us instead of calling the professionals
for every small task. Here are some things to keep in mind before embarking on
our first metalworking project:
Match the tool to your need: You will see a range of power tools
available for metalworking – for example, Black & Decker offers you 5 types
of Angle Grinders depending on the power and speed that you require for metal
grinding, cutting and finishing. Some people might like to use angle grinders
even for cutting rough edges off brick and mortar, and if you have such
requirements, you must discuss this need with the store personnel before
deciding on the model.
Safety gear: Especially in the field of
metalworking, the efficiently of your safety equipment is nearly as important
if not more than your metalworking tools. Protective eyeglasses, and a
completely covered protective suit and gloves resistant to heat are an absolute
necessity, as well as setting up a safe area such as a garage or shed for the
actual working.

Training and Supervision: Before using metalworking gear on
your own, try to spend some time training with a professional as well as a few
supervised hours trying out simple operations. In this way, any basic handing
errors will be corrected before you approach your own DIY project, and you will
feel much more confident too.
Research and Information: “Metal” is a general term, and there
are many different types like steel, aluminium, brass and bronze that react
differently to heat and pressure – for e.g. aluminium is quite hard to cut. Try
to gather information on some basic types of metal that you might be working
with, and discuss your project with an experienced person to ensure you have a
clear idea of the way you are going to deal with the chosen raw material.
