A shear that cuts out of square, or leaves a twisted edge, pushes work downstream to the brake and the welder. That is why shear condition, not shear price, is what a fabrication shop should be looking at — the edge quality sets the cost of everything that follows.
- Hand and foot-power shears for light sheet and hydraulic swing beam machines for plate
- CNC models for repeat cut lengths across a batch
- Ironworker-type hydraulic shearing for section as well as sheet
Who Buys Guillotine Shears and Why
Who It Is For
- Sheet metal fabrication shops
- Steel service centres
- HVAC and ducting fabricators
- Light workshops cutting thin sheet
Where These Machines Are Used
- Cutting sheet to size before bending
- Straight cutting of plate in a fabrication shop
- Repeat cut lengths in batch production
- Light gauge cutting in a small workshop without hydraulics
Industries That Run Guillotine Shears
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Sheet metal shops cut, bend, roll and form. XAIMC supplies shears press brakes plate rolls tube benders and fibre laser cutting across the manual to CNC range.

Guillotine Shears Questions
How do I specify the shear?
Cutting length and the thickest plate in your hardest material. Mild steel and stainless rate differently, so tell us both if you cut both.
Is a CNC shear worth it?
If you cut repeat lengths across a batch, yes. The back gauge control removes the measuring and setting that eats the day.
What is the difference between swing beam and guillotine cutting?
Swing beam blades pivot through the cut. It is a simpler mechanism and suits general fabrication; the trade-off is slightly more edge distortion on thin sheet than a true guillotine action.
