KEY OPERATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS OFTEN INCLUDE A BLADE LENGTH OF APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 24 INCHES AND A THROAT DEPTH DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE STANDARD-SIZED SHEETS. THE SHEAR'S DESIGN EMPHASIZES DURABILITY AND RELIABLE PERFORMANCE IN DEMANDING FABRICATION ENVIRONMENTS, MAKING IT SUITABLE FOR CUTTING VARIOUS NON-FERROUS METALS AND MILD STEEL WITH STRAIGHT, CLEAN EDGES.
