What is the difference between a throatless and a bench manual shear?

A throatless shear lets material pass freely on both sides of the blade, so you can cut large panels or tight curves. A bench shear, like the Baileigh MPS-8G, clamps material for straight, controlled cuts on smaller pieces.

How thick of metal can a Baileigh manual shear cut?

Capacity ranges from 14 gauge on the Baileigh MPS-1 up to 3/16 inch on the Baileigh MPS-5. Match capacity to your thickest regular material before buying.

Do Baileigh manual shears need electricity?

No. Every shear in this lineup runs by hand, so you can set it up anywhere in the shop without a power hookup or wiring.

What if I need to cut thicker metal than a manual shear can handle?

Step up to a Baileigh Hydraulic Shear for higher capacity and powered operation, or a Baileigh Shear Brake & Roll Machine if you also need bending and rolling in one machine.
