Shears for metalworking are tools specifically designed for cutting metal sheets and plates. They consist of an upper and lower cutting blade that move along a fixed edge to cut the metal. There are several types of metalworking shears, including: Hand Lever Shears - These shears are operated manually with a lever and are suitable for cutting thin sheet metal or aluminum. Guillotine Shears - Guillotine shears are large, stationary shears used for cutting thicker metal sheets and plates. They have a long cutting range and can achieve high cutting accuracy. Cut-off Shears - Cut-off shears are specially designed for cutting metal pipes and profiles. They have a cylindrical blade that moves around and cuts the pipe or profile. Impact Shears - Impact shears use a moving blade powered by compressed air to quickly and efficiently cut through metal. Metalworking shears are typically used in sheet metal fabrication, mechanical engineering, and metal component fabrication. They are useful for a variety of tasks, including cutting sheet metal for roofing and wall cladding, cutting metal parts for machinery, and fabricating metal frames and enclosures.
