Explanation

A power shear is electrically or pneumatically powered hand tool designed to blank large pieces of sheet metal. They are designed to cut straight lines and relatively large radius curves. They are adventageous over a bandsaw because there is not a size limit. Large versions can cut sheet metal up to 12 gauge.
