I have an old Pexto jump shear.
The tag says 132G, 2-45 ( probably the year of mfg), 18 ga maximum.
I’ve sheared 16 ga in short lengths 8” to 10” and stainless up to 18 ga without much effort.
I’ve seen videos of 2 people jumping on the bar at once and bouncing.
What is the limiting factor of a shear.
Is it the amount of force applied to the bar or part of the casting itself.
I’m interested in shearing 16 ga stainless not full length.
