  • Eastwood 8 Inch Bench Shear
Eastwood 8 Inch Bench Shear is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 12.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent bench shear I bought this to shear aluminum for the blades on my kinetic wind sculptures. I am amazed at how accurate this shear cuts and how easy it is to use because of the spring in the handle. I had recently tried to use a Beverly slit shear and had to return it because it was too cumbersome to use. I ordered this shear and could not be happier. I believe that this shear would make a fine addition to any shop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for my studio! This shear is even better than I imagined! What a value. I am a metal sculptor and a silversmith. This fits the bill for both. It was easy to bolt it down. It cut through 14 gauge brass like it was paper. This will be a huge timesaver for me. I will DEFINITELY be purchasing more tools from Eastwood in the future. Perfect transaction from start to finish as well. Thank you!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A must in a jewelers workshop! This shear is amazing. I can even cut belt buckle blanks from my 16 gauge nickel silver. Anything thinner cuts like butter. Precise and easy to use. Very good quality shear, very nice price.

Would this cut 1/4" Jute rope? Perhaps 2-3 at a time? I don't need it for steel

Asked by: smalia808
Unfortunately we have never tested cutting rope with this bench shear to say if it will or will not work.

Would it be possible to cut an accurate 1/8" strip (or smaller) with this shear?

Can this cut a strip of 14 gauge brass as thin as 1/8" wide? Strips would be 1/8" X 6".

Asked by: Casc
Yes, this length and thickness of material would be fine for this machine to handle.
