Foot Shears
Foot Shears
Manually operated squaring shears built for accurate sheet metal cutting, with rugged cast-iron construction, HCHC blades, and 37" or 52-1/4" cutting lengths.
Overview
Tennsmith Foot Shears are manually operated squaring shears designed for accurate, reliable sheet metal cutting. Heavy-duty cast-iron frame, bed, and cutter-head assemblies provide a rigid foundation, while precision-machined bed and table surfaces help maintain an accurate working surface.
Tri-action high-carbon/high-chromium (HCHC) steel blades are designed to minimize material penetration effort and help prevent material movement during shearing. The lower blade is adjustable for proper blade clearance, while a spring-activated hold-down helps maintain consistent pressure across light- and heavy-gauge material.
Standard equipment includes a double-locking back gauge with embossed scales and vernier wheels for fine adjustment, front extension arms with stop, bevel gauge, and graduated side scales. A squaring arm is available as an option.
