I reckon these bench top metal cutting shears will be very handy in the workshop. I've always fancied having a go at making some and even though I really wasn't sure how well they'd work they actually work extremely well.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

Overall a nice job. I would replace your pivot bolts with "shoulder bolts" which are machined to a proper OD to fill the hole, (and they are Grade 8). The Grade 5 zinc coated are only meant to hold by "compression" they're not meant to resist the "shear forces" like shoulder bolts are. Also you should know the thicker the material you're cutting the more gap you need between your blades. 3mm (nearly 1/8" thick) won't hurt to have .010" - .015 gap. (rule of thumb the gap should be at least 10% of material thickness) I would open up the overall gap then slip a thin shim behind your bottom blade for your thin material, and remove it for the 3mm + and it should cut no problem. I wouldn't change the bevel angle on the grind you've done well.

I really like your content mate. It gets tiresome when makers are always doing over the top click bait crap. I like that you seem to be very practical and to the point.

@SharkyMoto 5 жыл бұрын

it is easy, not easy to invent but building it can be done easily if you have the tools and know how to use them. if you cant weld, well it gets a bit tricky, but if you have a welder and some scrap metal, a sheer is fairly easy to build. i encourage everyone to at least try it. if you fail, you have no shear, but if you dont try it, you dont have the chance to make one in the first place. its not a precision instrument, you can get away with a couple of flaws :)
