Product Description
A machine with blades or rotary disks for cutting sheets, plates, or bars (as of metal) 2 : a machine for shearing cloth usually consisting of a roller with cutters operating against a ledger blade. Shearing machines are multipurpose devices used in the cutting of alloys and other sheet metal. Some shearing machines use a scissor-like, angular shear action to cut metal into sheets or strips. Shearing, also known as die cutting, is a process which cuts stock without the formation of chips or the use of burning or melting. Strictly speaking, if the cutting blades are straight the process is called shearing; if the cutting blades are curved then they are shearing-type operations.
