About Used Power Shears

Power shears (also called plate shears or guillotine shears) use a straight blade to cut sheet metal and plate to length. Hydraulic shears dominate the market for their smooth cutting action, adjustable stroke speed, and programmable back gauge systems. Capacities range from light gauge sheet metal to 1-inch plate in lengths up to 20 feet or more.

Key specifications include cutting capacity (thickness × length), rake angle, blade gap adjustment, hold-down system, and back gauge configuration. CNC back gauges enable precise cut-to-length operations with minimal operator setup. Swing beam shears offer advantages for thinner materials, while guillotine-style shears handle heavier plate.

Meadoworks stocks used power shears from Cincinnati, Accurshear, Pacific, Baykal, LVD, and Amada. Contact us at 800-323-0307.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a power shear used for?

A power shear uses a straight blade driven by hydraulic or mechanical force to cut sheet metal and plate to length. Power shears produce clean, straight cuts across the full width of the material in a single stroke. They are used in fabrication shops, steel service centers, and manufacturing facilities for blanking and cut-to-length operations.
