Making penetration holes using tin snips
Use these free steel frame installation guides to cut, join and fit out light gauge steel frames correctly on site. Each PDF covers one technique step by step, from making service penetration holes with a hydraulic punch, stud punch or carbide hole cutter, to cutting steel with tin snips, electric shears and nibblers, making up noggings and studs, and forming mitre corners.
The guides are written for builders, carpenters and owner builders working with TRUECORE® steel wall frames and roof trusses supplied by Steel Frames and Trusses. Read them before you start, keep them on site, and follow the bracing and fixing details in your engineering drawings.
