The 18" "Raptor" shear from Mega is both powerful and rigid. It can be used on any bench or mounted using the four corner fixing points. Designed and manufactured in the UK, the shear has the ability to accurately cut PCB laminates, plastics up to 2.0mm thick and Aluminuim up to 1.5mm along the whole cutting length of 18" (457mm). The bottom blade is reversable providing two cutting edges.
An important feature of this shear is safety. Free access to the cutting blade is prevented by heavy Perspex shielding extending along both sides of the blade. These guards are split allowing easy alignment of materials. A safety latch is fitted to the pivot to prevent operation without it first being released. A 12" (305mm) wide cutting bed is fitted although wide material can also be cut. For position accuracy the bed is fitted with a metric and imperial scale to aid accurate cutting.
