Two new powerful, cost effective shears which have ability to accurately cut PCB laminates, plastics up to 2.0mm thick and aluminium up to 1.5mm. An important feature of these shears is safety. Free access to the cutting area is prevented by heavy perspex shielding extending 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 metric rule which is recessed to assist in securing the PCB or sheeting whilst cutting is in progress.
The smaller unit has a cutting capacity of 203mm (8") for normal 1.6mm PCB laminate and is extremely compact with an overall height of only 575mm and a base of 275 x 140mm.
The larger shear will cut 1.6mm PCB laminates up to 305mm (12") wide and has a height of 670mm and a base of 430 x 135mm.
