Throatless Sheet Metal Shear, 16-Gauge Manual Bench Cutter MMS-3 for Steel Plate, Fabrication and Hobby Workshops

16-Gauge Cutting Capacity for Sheet Metal and Steel Plates: This shear cleanly cuts materials up to 16-gauge thickness (approximately 1.5 mm), including steel, aluminum, and copper plates, using high-carbon steel blades for consistent performance. Throatless Design for Straight, Curved, and Intricate Cuts: The rotating blade design allows unrestricted movement for complex patterns and circular cuts without material jamming, enhancing workflow efficiency compared to standard shears. Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Construction with Ratcheting Lever: A robust cast iron base and rack-and-pinion gearing ensure stability, while the extended ratcheting lever provides increased leverage, reducing operator effort during prolonged use. Compact Benchtop Operation for Diverse Workshops: With a net weight of 46 lbs and compact dimensions, this portable shear fits easily on workbenches in professional shops, schools, and home garages, suited for spaces with limited area. Manual Precision Control for Custom Projects: The manual operation offers precise control over cuts, with an adjustable guide for repeat tasks. The throatless design minimizes material waste and requires no power, ensuring safety
