A foot shear is a machine that uses the opera-
tor's body weight to cut sheet metal. A stationary
blade is mounted to the machine base and a mov-
ing blade is connected to a foot lever. these two
blades pass by each other, creating a shearing
action.
to cut a sheet metal workpiece on the Model
t23036, the operator places the workpiece on the
machine table, aligning the desired cut line with the
shear blades. the operator then presses down on
the foot pedal. this action lowers the hold-down,
securing the position of the workpiece. As the foot
pedal is pressed further down, the upper blade
passes through the workpiece, cutting it into two
pieces.
For large workpieces, the Model t23036 is
equipped with front and rear extension arms.
these arms provide additional support for ease
of use and safety during operation. in addition to
this support, they also provide mounting points for
work stops that can be used when creating repeti-
tive cuts. once positioned, these eliminate the
need for measuring and marking the workpiece.
