    I'm trying to cut a 16 gauge steel using a stencil and jig saw. I was wondering besides the Dremel, if there's any other tool(s) that would make it easier to cut out a stencil on steel?

    Is it a large item? Otherwise try and hand-fret saw. It'll take a while, but should look good.

    Well it's a tribal dragon. The measurement s about 8 x 10 possibly. Um, I was wondering more of a machine, like a scrool saw? router?

    A good jigsaw with a fine metal cutting blade.

    Scroll saw might be easier, router won't be.

    CNC Laser cutter. ;)

    good blades on scroll saw or jigsaw should work.
