Powerful, cost effective, shears which have the ability to accurately cut PCB laminates, plastics up to 2.0mm thick and aluminium up to 1.5mm thick. An important feature of these shears is safety. Free access to the cutting area is prevented by heavy Perspex shielding along both sides of the blade. A safety latch is fitted to the pivot to prevent operation without it first being released. For positional accuracy the cutting bed is fitted with a rule, which is recessed, to assist in securing the PCB or sheeting whilst cutting is in progress. The 12in. shears will cut materials up to 305mm (12in.) and has a height of 670mm and a footprint of 440mm x 245mm. It has a larger cutting bed 225mm from the blade although once again wider material can be cut.
