This workhorse hydraulic plate shear runs at 28 strokes per minute for fast production. Its length and capacity are perfect for those 4' x 8' sheets commonly found at steel suppliers.

• 52" length hydraulic cutting shear.
• 8 gauge mild steel maximum capacity.
• 10 hp motor runs on 220-volt 3-phase power.
• Industrial-grade hydraulic system is located in the front for easy fluid changes.
• Shearing carriage rides on hardened ways and uses heavy-duty bearings to reduce friction.
• Manually adjustable 23.62" backgauge ensures precise repeatability.
• Heavy duty table with roller bars slides material into the machine more easily.
• Side gauges keep the cut at 90° (if you so choose) without you needing to make a guiding line on the material.
• Switch between 3 modes as needed:
  • Jog mode: Inching the blade down to the material.
  • Single cycle mode: One cut for one pedal push.
  • Automatic cycling mode: Continuously cutting for production runs.
• Adjustable rake angle dial makes it easy to fit your material thickness to minimize burr and put less strain on hydraulics.
• Convenient blade gap adjustment lets you eliminate folding and twisting.
• Comes standard with high carbon chromium blades.
• 2-sided upper blades and 4-sided lower blades can be flipped and resharpened as needed, saving money.
• Hydraulic hold-downs clamp the sheet solidly to the table, eliminating material lifting and improving blade life.
• Rigid, fully welded steel plate construction helps prevent flex and gives you many years of accuracy.
• Shadow line creates a reference line on the material so you know exactly where the cut will be.
• The SH-5208-HD hydraulic plate shear is covered by a 1-year parts warranty.
• We stock replacement parts, including blades, in house for fast shipping.
• Includes lifetime technical support by phone from a team of reps with hands-on metalworking experience.

Also available in a 10-gauge model of the same length and a 80"-long, 8-gauge model.

You can add an optional sheet support system to this model. Please call us for details.
