The MPS-1 thoatless shear from Baileigh Industrial is quickly becoming the go-to machine for anyone that has to shape and cut sheet metal. The unique design on the blades allows the operator to cut just about any shape they need. The best part is that this little mighty mite only weighs 18 pounds, but is strong enough to cut 14-gauge mild steel easily. The throatless design of the shear makes it easy to cut large panels as well. As the operator cuts the material, the design of the cast base guides the material away from the blade allowing the operator to keep cutting without having to trim, saving a lot of production time. Baileigh covers this throatless manual shear with a one-year parts warranty and lifetime technical support by phone.
