Default sheet steel nibbler

Could anyone recommend an electric nibbler for cutting box profile

0.7mm
roofing sheets?

I have a selection of nibblers ranging from 1mm air to 6mm electric
steel capacity with several in between and none of them meet the bill.
Going down the trapizoid and meeting the horizontal they all seem to
get stuck . I've always reverted to using an angle grinder with a 1mm
disk.

BTW the 6mm nibbler is an awsome beast, spitting out 6mm cubes of
'swarf'

Andrew,

What make / model is your 6mm one? I could do with one of those! I have an
air one which can manage upto ~1.5mm, but if I need to cut anything bigger I
currently have to resort to an angle grinder or plasma cutter, both are
messy compared to a nibbler.
