| I'm trying to find a large (100") sheet metal shear but the larger they get the more expensive and the thicker gauge cutting they support. I only cut light gauge material such as .020" (24 guage) aircraft sheet metal but I want to be able to cut 8' sheets. Does anyone know of a sheer that would be less expensive for this type of cutting? Or another option for cutting large sheets of thin material? It needs to cut accurate along the 8' so I don't think a slitter will work for my application but I would consider that if can be accurate enough. |

Also try Comeq.com they have shears from light gauge to 1" capacity and you can buy one stripped down or customize one with your desired options! I have worked with them for years and they sell quality product!

Omahagladwin,
You should try our www.ShopPass/commercial site to list some of the machinery you have sitting around? It's free and you're the one who decides how long the ad runs for by choosing 1 day or 30 days, if it sells in between that time, you can remove it from the database or just leave it to expire. If it doesn't sell you can relist it for additional time (free)
I know the Gladwin located in Wisconsin always has a floor full of machinery? |
