Shears are essential tools in metal fabrication, used to shape and form sheet metal to precise specifications.
Fundamentally, shears operate by utilizing two metal blades, configured similarly to a pair of scissors. One blade remains stationary, while the other moves, exerting force to cut through the metal sheet. As the movable blade is pressed against the fixed blade, it slices through the metal, producing the desired shape or size.
Smith Ironworks’ shears are capable of handling a wide range of metal thicknesses, from delicate 22-gauge sheet metal to substantial half-inch plates. Additionally, they can accommodate materials up to 10 feet wide, making them ideal for large-scale projects. Regardless of material thickness or size, Smith Ironworks’ shears consistently produce high-quality, smooth cuts.
Whether working with intricate sheet metal or robust thick plates, Smith Ironworks’ shears guarantee precise cuts every time.
