I just went down this road last year.....my advice depends on the width of stainless you are cutting. I use a Tennsmith 52H which will cut 20 ga. stainless...but I would jump up to their LM412 shear if you want to cut a lot of stainless. Running a shear at its max. capacity all the time will lead to problems. For what I do, (mostly mild steel) I have been very happy with the Tennsmith hydraulic shear.  |
