Tennsmith 36T Foot Shear

Squaring Shears offer precision shearing and rugged construction at an affordable price. The shear frame, bed and cutter head assemblies are constructed of heavy-duty cast iron steel. The shear bed is CNC machined then surface ground to precision tolerances to ensure an accurate working surface.

The Model 36 foot shear features tri-action, high carbon/high chromium steel blades. Both upper and lower blades have a 2-degree edge relief and the lower has an additional 1-degree face relief for maximum material penetration with minimum effort. Tri-action blades help prevent material movement while prolonging blade life. Tennsmith’s tri-action blades produce the best cutting performance available for a manually operated unit.

Tennsmith foot shears have the most complete adjustment of any sheet metal shear on the market today. The lower blade is bed adjusting and the upper is adjustable by the means of a truss bar on the cutter head. The spring activated hold down feet clamp the work piece securely in place and is easily adjustable to compensate holding pressure for light or heavy gauge material. There is ample clearance between the hold down feet and the shear blades to allow good operator vision for line of sight cutting. The standard double locking back gauge, which features embossed scales and Vernier wheels for fine adjustment, give highly accurate readings.
