FAQs

What is the maximum thickness of steel sheet this shear can cut?

The hand lever shear can cut steel sheets up to a maximum thickness of 6 mm.

Can this shear cut round bars?

Yes, it can cut round bars up to a maximum diameter of 13 mm.

Does the shear need to be bolted down?

Yes, it is designed to be secured to a workbench or hard surface using the included bottom fastening plates for stability and safe operation.

What material is the blade made of?

The blade is made of robust hardened steel.

How do I maintain the blade?

Keep the blade clean and dry. Periodically apply a light oil to prevent rust and lubricate moving parts. Sharpen the blade if cutting performance decreases.

What are the dimensions of the blade?

The blade length is 200 mm.

Is this shear suitable for cutting thick, hardened steel?

This shear is best suited for mild sheet plates and rods within its specified thickness limits. It is not designed for very thick or hardened steel materials that exceed its maximum cutting capacity.

Troubleshooting

Lever is stiff or difficult to move

Check for debris around the pivot point or blade. Apply a light lubricant to the pivot and moving parts. Ensure the shear is securely mounted, as a loose mounting can affect lever action.

Uneven or rough cuts

Ensure the material is positioned correctly and held firmly against the blade. Verify the blade is clean and sharp. Check that the shear is securely bolted to the workbench; movement during cutting will result in poor cuts.

Shear does not cut through material completely

Confirm the material thickness does not exceed the maximum cutting capacity (6 mm for steel sheets, 13 mm for rods). Ensure the blade is properly aligned and sharp. Reposition the material for a clean pass.

Spring return not functioning correctly

Inspect the spring mechanism for damage or obstruction. Ensure there is no binding in the lever action. If the spring is broken, it may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Heavy-duty construction for durability.
  • High cutting capacity for various metal thicknesses.
  • Ergonomic handle and spring return for comfortable use.
  • Stable operation when securely mounted.
  • Suitable for both sheet metal and solid bars.

Cons

  • Requires secure mounting to a workbench.
  • Limited to stationary use, not portable.
  • Blade sharpness may require periodic maintenance.
  • Cutting size is limited by the maximum thickness specifications.
  • Color may not match all workshop aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the hand lever shear, identify a stable and level workbench or sturdy surface. Use the four included bottom fastening plates to securely bolt the shear to the surface. Ensure the mounting bolts are tightened firmly to prevent any wobbling during operation. Verify that the lever mechanism moves freely before the first use.

Compatibility: This shear is designed for cutting mild sheet plates, flat bars, and round bars. It is compatible with steel sheets up to 6 mm thick and rods up to 13 mm thick. It is not recommended for cutting hardened steel, thicker materials beyond its specifications, or non-metal materials.

Care: Keep the blade clean and free from rust. After each use, wipe the blade with a dry cloth. Apply a light coat of oil to the blade and pivot points periodically to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation. Check the mounting bolts regularly to ensure the shear remains securely fastened. Sharpen the blade if cutting performance degrades, following appropriate sharpening procedures for hardened steel.
