Shears, brakes & spot welders · review
Half a meter of blade — the first machine here that cuts a panel edge in one stroke.
Where we come out The panel shear of this group, and honest about the thickness it was tested at.
Five hundred millimeters of blade turns a job that was three stepped cuts into one pull. On visible edges that is the whole difference.
A guillotine of this length develops real force at the far end of its lever, and it has to be fixed to something solid to be safe as well as accurate. Plan the bench before it arrives.

Because every restart leaves a mark. A stepped cut shows a small witness line at each stop, and the two segments are never perfectly in line, so the edge is neither straight nor clean. For anything that will be seen, folded or welded along its length, one continuous stroke is the difference between a made part and a modified one.
For sheet, yes — most bodywork, ducting, cladding and boxwork lives between 0.5 and 1.5 mm (0.06 in). For structural work it is not: 3 mm (0.12 in) plate needs a machine several times the price, or a bandsaw and a dressing pass. Buy this for panels and know where it stops.
