The flexibility offered by our shear cutting process allows us to accommodate custom measurements in an ability to process a variety of materials with thicknesses from 0.010″ to 0.375″ (.254 mm-9.5 mm) and with maximum lengths of 236″ (6000 mm).
Characteristics of Cutting with Shears
The process is manually fed and can start from sheets or blanks, providing precise and clean cuts, obtaining as a final product a high-quality custom flat bar or blanks.
It is used to divide large sheets into smaller sections, being a quick and efficient process, which typically enter a subsequent pressing or stamping process. The shear process is used to accurately cut sheet metal to within +/-.04″ tolerance in width and length in 90° cuts, and its minimum process batches can be adapted to the ever-changing needs of the market.
