A
unique toggle system used in this shear creates a tremendous leverage between the lever
and the shear knife, and at the same time makes possible a long travel of the shear knife.
The customary methods of adding extensions to the lever and striking heavy hammer blows on
the shear knife holder in order to make it cut are not required whit this shear. One
person can easily cut the rated capacity of the shear in full length strokes in any metal
such as saw steel, brass, copper or anything within its rated capacity.
HYDRAULIC OPTION AVAILABLE FOR EITHER 14" OR
18" SHEARS
An air-driven hydraulic unit can be supplied installed on either size
shear at reasonable cost. These 10 ton units will quickly cut through the heaviest band or
sash gang saw plates. Shears supplied with this hydraulic option operate on 80 to 100 PSI
air supply and can be either hand or foot activated. All the features of the standard hand
operated shears, including the movable truck and heavy duty construction, are found in the
hydraulically powered units.
The smooth cutting and labor saving action of a hydraulic saw shear can
be a big advantage in all saw factories and many larger saw shops and sawmills.
