Shears

These machines use either a scissor-like angular shear action or a straight shear action with a blade fixed at an angle to cut metal into sheets or strips. One blade is typically mounted onto a fixed bed with a vertically advancing crosshead and a series of hold-down pins or feet to hold the material in place while cutting. A gauging system with stops is used to produce specific workpiece finish sizes.
