Tennsmith Low-Profile Shears
Tennsmith LM Series shears are quality manufactured in the USA at competitive prices.
Models LM410, LM610, LM810, LM1010, LM1012, LM1014 and LM1214 incorporate the unique 2x back gauge system. This allows the operator to move the backstop from 0 up to 30 inches (0 to 24 inches for Model LM410) in approximately 2 seconds with only two rotations of the handle. An optional digital readout is available for this system.
The LM Series shears are standard with four edge, high carbon/high chromium (HCHC) top and bottom blades, solid-bar hold-down with non-marring urethane insert, single, continuous and job stroke cycles, motor reverse switch, precision-machined table with hand well, dual inch/metric inlaid bed scales and non-metallic gibs. The LM410 model incorporates all of the popular LM series features into this 52-1/2″ cutting length, 10-gauge mild steel capacity shear. Model LM610 has a rated capacity of 10-gauge mild steel with a maximum cutting length of 60-1/2 inches.
Tennsmith’s LM1010 is standard equipped with a 30-inch powered back gauge system. The ballscrew-driven back gauge provides quick, accurate cuts. The LM1010 is powered by a 12-1/2-hp gear motor attached to a mechanical linkage which provides smooth, quiet operation.
The LM1010 is rated at a maximum of 10-gauge material with a cutting width of 121 inches. To enhance productivity, optional equipment available for the machines include: five or ten-foot squaring arm, front support arms, light beam and protractor attachment. A rear drop sheet support system is available for the LM1010.
Additionally, the LM1010-2x is equipped with the popular 2x manual back gauge option. This allows the operator to move the backstop from 0 to 30 inches in approximately two seconds with only two rotations of the handle. An optional digital readout is available for this system.
Air-Operated Sheet Support System Available as F (front) or R (rear)
Shown is F option
The LM Series shears are now available in an optional “Performance Package” configuration which 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.
