Throat-Less Metal-Cutting Rotary Shear makes clean, distortion-free cuts in annealed (soft) and non-ferrous metals up to 10x faster than hand-held shears. The upper drive gear is connected to the handle and has a reversible pawl which draws the material into the beveled, hardened cutting wheel with ratchet action. Make straight and left-hand curved cuts in materials up to 1.5 mm thick x any length x any width. Overall dimensions with handle down: 12-1/2” long x 3-3/4” wide x 4-1/2” high. Attaches to your workbench with two molded-in mounting holes. Great for any metal shop.
