This is a collection of products that we've found we can't live without. Each sold by their respective brand names or dealers so you won't find these on our shopping cart.

An extremely compact "combo" shear that not only cuts metal but also "box brakes" sheet metal to make your own custom sized enclosures to fit your circuit board projects.
-
Cuts PCB up to .064", brass & aluminum up to .040" and galvanized steel plate up to .020" thick!
-
Vertical table design cuts materials on the up-stroke and box-brakes into the "V" black on the down stroke
-
4 sharpened cutting edges for VERY long life. New "blade blocks" are also available direct from MicroMark.
NOTE: The unit will "brake" (bend metal) up to 8" wide, however, the shear portion at the top of the unit needs a simple modification in order to cut material to a full 8" width. The modification is simple. It only requires putting a thin spacer under the four-bolt "cutting head" on top of the unit. The manufacturer inadvertantly added a lip to the mold that reduced the overall cutting width. This modification corrects this error.
