Permissible Shearing Thickness
.The groove on the yoke serves
as a thick-
ness gauge for shearing mild or stainless
steel plate. If the material fits within the
groove, it is shearable.
.The thickness of materials to be sheared
depends upon the type (strength) of the
material. The maximum shearing thick-
ness
is indicated in the table on the right
in terms of various materials. Attempting
to shear materials thicker than indicated
will result in tool breakdown and/or pos-
sible injury. Keep within the thickness
shown at right.
