Baileigh SH-5208-HD 52" Heavy Duty Hydraulic Shear — 8 Gauge
Are you looking for a hydraulic shear that cuts heavy sheet metal cleanly without added strain on your crew?
What if your shop had a 52 inch shear that handles 8 gauge steel with steady, repeatable cuts every time?
Meet the Baileigh SH-5208-HD, a heavy duty hydraulic shear built for daily fabrication work.
With a fully welded steel frame and adjustable hold downs, the shear holds material secure through every cut.
When the blade tracks true and the frame stays rigid, you can move through sheet metal work with confidence.

Baileigh SH-5208-HD for Heavy Sheet Metal Shearing
Heavy Duty Steel Frame Prevents Flex During Cuts
The fully welded steel frame is built to resist movement under load. This helps the blade stay aligned so every cut stays accurate from edge to edge.
Adjustable Hold Downs Keep Material Secure
The hold down system clamps sheet metal firmly in place during the cut. This keeps material from shifting so you get clean, accurate results on every pass.
Hydraulic System Powers Smooth, Consistent Cuts
The hydraulic drive cuts through 8 gauge mild steel with steady force and minimal effort. This reduces operator fatigue while keeping cut quality consistent across a full shift.
Three Cutting Modes Match the Job at Hand
Jog mode lets you inch the blade down for careful setup, single cycle mode gives one clean cut per pedal push, and automatic mode keeps cutting for production runs. This flexibility lets the shear match the pace of the work in front of you.
