At 28 strokes per minute the SH-5208-HD hydraulic metal cutting shear is truly a workhorse that you must have in your shop. The SH-5208-HD has a shearing capacity of 8 gauge (11/64”) mild steel over its entire length of 52”, making it perfect for these 4’x8’ sheets of metal that are commonly found at steel suppliers.

The SH-5208-HD is built for heavy duty production, this machine has thick steel plate frame that is fully welded for rigidity. The shearing carriage rides against hardened carriage ways and uses heavy duty bearings to reduce friction and wear. The industrial grade hydraulics system on the SH-5208-HD is powered by a 10 hp 220 volt three phase motor.

Operation of the SH-5208-HD is easy; the centralized control panel offers the selection of jog, single or continuous cutting modes. A showdown line helps to line up the next cut for accuracy. There is also a dial for adjusting the rake that eliminates curl and twist in cutting as well as a quick adjustment lever for material thickness. The upper blade is two sided while the lower blade is four sided. The blades can be resharpened when needed saving money. A back gauge, roller tables and side gauges round out this great package.
