So I'm a welding/fabrication job shop and we deal with a wide range sheet/plate. We currently have an old 1947 mechanical Cincinnati shear originally shipped to Sweden when new. It allows me to shear up to 3/8 plate 12' long. I have a plasma table for thicker plate. I may have one guy that needs to shear 3/8" mild steel and then another that needs to shear 063 aluminum right after. It really fills our needs nicely. It looks like we need to build a bigger building and it's the perfect time to upgrade the oldest workhorse in the shop.
I really would like to keep the 12' length with the same 3/8" max thickness. I'd like to know more about hydraulic shears to see if one would fit my needs. I know some you can adjust the rake angle, but not sure what that all entails. Itd be nice to quiet the shop down and to upgrade in general if it makes sense.
