Shears

The shears offer triple-action shearing which includes relief on both edges of both the fixed and moving blades. The blade design eliminates blade-to-blade friction, provides “bite” to minimize sheet movement under shearing stress and produces double penetration in the cutting action. The shears will handle a 52″ sheet. Max. Rated Capacity – 16 gauge (mild steel)

Add Optional Performance Package to your MSE or LM Series shears. Configuration includes a 5′ squaring arm, a pair of front support arms, and an air operated sheet support is available in two styles:

System R drops the supported material to the rear of the machine.
System F returns the supported material to the front of the machine via a front return chute.

TENNSMITH’s power shears combine all of the features of our foot shears with the advantage and convenience of air or hydraulic operation. TENNSMITH power shears are a productive addition to any shop. The air shears utilize heavy-duty, tie rod-type pneumatic cylinders, which provide up to 40 strokes per minute in capacity materials.

Tennsmith’s squaring shears offer precision shearing and rugged construction at an affordable price. The shear frame, bed and cutter head assemblies are constructed of heavy-duty cast iron. The shear bed is machined and then surface ground to precision tolerances to ensure an accurate working surface.

Tennsmith’s mechanical shears utilize a simple low maintenance design, coupled with an array of standard features for an attractive combination of high value and solid performance.

The MSE616 is available as a standard model or in our popular Performance Package. Model MSE1016 comes standard with Performance Package F or R (see below).
