Used Shears Description
A shear is a machine that uses sharp blades to cut through sheet metal. Popular brands include Wysong, Amada, Niagara , Cincinnati , and Lodge & Shipley. You can buy a shear that is hydraulic, mechanical, air clutch, air trip, and of course "CNC" or computer numerical controlled. As for the clutch, Hydraulic clutch is the safest, and most expensive. They are generally slower and have more of a precise cuts. Hydraulic shears have a better control when inching down and setting up for your Cut, they also can return to the top at any time. Air clutch shears work in the same way except they use air to activate the clutch. The difference is that you have to complete the rotation once activated. This makes it more dangerous, but faster.
Air Trip, is a cheaper, sometimes aftermarket clutch system that can be added to a standard Mechanical Shears. Mechanical is the most dangerous of them all, you lose a lot of control. The clutch has to make a full rotation, and can't be stopped at any time during the process. CNC shears are the latest in manufacturing. They can have multiple axis backgauges, and you can program them to do different cuts, with the touch of a button. This is the most expensive and the best for production.
