Plate & Sheet Shearing

For metal plates and sheets that require simple, straight cuts, shearing can be the perfect solution. The process is fast, efficient, and produces almost no material loss when cuts are made. At Tell Steel, we use mechanical guillotine-style shears to cut a wide range of sheet and plate materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and more.

Tell Steel's Shearing Services for Plate & Sheet Metal

Our shearing process begins by securing the material with a ram. A shearing blade descends, passing across the fixed blade to execute the cut. In the case of thicker metals, the blade may be tilted or "rocked" to slice through the material from one side to the other. Shearing is quick, accurate, and avoids producing chips or exposing the material to burning or melting elements.

Metal Plate & Sheet Shearing Benefits

• Efficient Cutting: Shearing is a simple, straightforward method for making straight cuts in sheet metal.
• Cost-Effective: Because shearing is so efficient, production costs are low compared to other cutting methods.
• Minimal Waste: Shearing creates precise cuts with minimal material waste.
• No Thermal Exposure: Shearing eliminates the need to expose materials to burning or melting elements.
• Versatile Compatibility: Shearing can be used on many sheet and plate materials, including aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and more.
