Multi purpose manual shears

A manual rotary shear lets you cut sheet material in a straight line or along a curve without any power supply. This category contains the Cowley rotary shear, which handles sheet up to 3.0 mm.

According to the description, this shear easily cuts through mild steel, aluminium, brass and stainless steel. The long lever provides maximum force for heavier cutting, so thicker sheets can also be processed with little effort.

It is a handy machine for sheet metal shops, metalworking shops, coachbuilders and hobbyists. Other machines for cutting, folding and rolling sheet metal can be found in Metalworking.
