Electric metal shears

Electric shears for metal - selection and features of use

There are many electrical appliances and units that are used for cutting and opening metal. However, all of this equipment is usually not suitable for cutting sheet metal, corrugated metal, pipes and other similar metal products, as they can deform the edges of the workpiece, cause tears and other damage.

In such situations, you should use metal scissors, for example, electric models, which allow you to increase the efficiency of the task and ensure the safety of specialists. However, since the modern market offers various types of such devices, the choice of metal shears, taking into account the specifics of the upcoming work, often turns into a real challenge. The VADA online store offers a large selection of these tools and tips on how to choose them.

What are electric metal shears and what are they used for?

Electric scissors are a specialised tool designed for cutting sheet metal, roofing materials, rebar, and plastic. They are used during repairs, installation of structures, and construction. Unlike manual models, electric metal shears provide a smooth cut, are characterised by high speed and do not require significant physical effort from the person working with them.

When choosing a power scissors, be sure to consider the type and specifics of the task you will be performing with this tool. In addition, you need to make sure that they are comfortable to hold in your hand. We recommend that you pay attention to the location of the button, as this will be responsible for comfortable pressing.

Small and lightweight scissors have an elongated body, so they are easy to use with one hand. More powerful, heavy and large tools are usually equipped with an additional handle for the other hand.

How do electric metal shears work?

Electric metal shears resemble a compact grinder. They have a narrow and elongated body that fits easily in your hand. The body is made of durable ABS plastic. There are models whose body can be gripped with only two hands. It all depends on the power and purpose of the equipment. According to their functionality, these devices are divided into:

• sheet metal
• slotted;
• cutting shears.

Sheet metal shears consist of a fixed, round base to which the cutter is fixed in a horizontal position. The second carbide blade is perpendicular to the first, which is responsible for cutting. This type of electric metal shears is characterised by high cutting speed and precision. Sheet models can be used for long periods of work without producing any material waste.

Slotted electric shears are equipped with two blades, one of which is stationary (U-shaped) and the other movable. The mechanism performs reciprocating movements, cutting through metal. During the work, thin chips are formed and twisted. Waste is removed with nippers. Slotted models do not deform the metal sheet during operation, are very manoeuvrable, and can be used to cut individual holes.

The special shape of the electric metal shears makes it possible to work in hard-to-reach places. Punching models have a special knife design - a punch. It performs reciprocating movements inside the bushing. This type of electric scissors is the most productive and manoeuvrable. They offer the ability to make sharp turns and follow a straight line. They are capable of cutting thick metal without leaving burrs on the edges.
