18" and 25" Shears (Code: )

Two bench top shears suitable for cutting printed circuit board laminates, thin metal sheet and aluminium (1.5/2.0mm) or plastic labels / front panel materials. On lowering the operating handle, a spring loaded clamp is activated which holds the material securely during cutting, thus enabling cuts to be made with a mini-mum of effort. These shears are composed of an epoxy powder coated cast aluminium frame fitted with hardened and ground steel blades. The Model 45 has a clear acrylic front safety guard to protect the operator, whilst at the same time making it possible to see the blades so that the material to be cut can be aligned accurately. The Model 45 (illustrated) has an 18" cutting capacity and the DM525 25". Both have imperial and metric edge scales.
