Does the job!I bought this as a less expensive alternative to a larger guillotine sheer. So far, I’ve used it to cut brass, copper, and sterling silver sheets. Cuts easily and I’m now spending less time filing edges, etc. Although it takes up space, it’s a time saver and cuts beautifully. I don’t have it bolted to a workspace yet but would recommend doing so to keep it steady.
Will this shear 1/4" thick by 1/2" wide aluminum? I use aluminum trim in my upholstery shop a lot and its a pain using grinders.

What is the width and depth of the machine? How much bench space does the machine itself take up. I know extra may be needed left or right for the metal.

We recently moved and I assume a bolt loosened in transport is responsible for the spring in my bench shear popping out of the fixed location on the upper blade attachment. What can we use to apply tension and re set that spring into position?
Asked by: Sylmeister
I'm not sure honestly, I've never encountered this. Those coil springs can be very challenging to reclock and install if they have a lot of tension.

Would this be good for shearing .032” spring steel?
Asked by: Lucky1
With spring steel being a little harder than mild steel, you may wear blades slightly faster than most guys but I think they would still have long life since the thickness is much smaller than capacity. In any case, we do offer replacement blades if you can't sharpen yours or they are worn out #20456.

Will it cut 14 gauge stainless steel by 8” wide ?

please clarify the cutting thickness. On the video it shows uo to 3/16 in small widths. I am wondering if it could handle 3/16 material to make a cut 26" or what is the real meanin of "small widths"
