FAQs
Can the RBS15 handle stainless steel?
The shear is designed for standard sheet metal; when using harder materials like stainless, ensure the thickness is well within the lower end of the machine's capacity to avoid overloading.
How do I perform an internal cut?
You will need to pre-drill a starting hole in your sheet metal to insert the roller guide, then utilize the reversible transport feature to follow your cut line.
Does this tool require electricity?
No, the RBS15 is a fully manual tool powered by the ratchet handle mechanism.
Is the shear pin a standard part?
The shear pin is a specific safety component; always refer to the Holzmann RBS15 parts diagram for the correct replacement part number.
What is the maximum thickness it can cut?
The machine is designed for standard plate work; consult the manual for the specific maximum millimeter gauge capacity for mild steel.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty feeding material through the rollers
Verify that the material is within the specified thickness range and ensure the rollers are clean and properly tensioned.
Rough or jagged edges on the cut
Check the alignment of the cutting rollers and ensure the material is being fed at a consistent speed with constant pressure.
The shear mechanism is locked or won't move
Inspect the shear pin on the lower guide roller to see if it has snapped due to an overload condition and replace it if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal results, the RBS15 should be bolted to a heavy-duty workbench using the integrated mounting points. Alternatively, use a high-quality bench vice to clamp the base firmly. Before starting, check that the rollers are clean and free of metal debris from previous cuts. Maintain the shear by regularly lubricating the moving parts of the ratchet handle and the roller shafts with a high-quality machine oil. Periodically inspect the shear pin on the lower guide roller; if it breaks, replace it with the specified pin size to ensure the overload protection remains functional.
