İzeltaş Sheet and Metal Snips

Sheet metal shears are hand shears that cut thin metal sheet without removing chips, using the shearing action of two hardened steel blades. They are used in jobs such as ventilation ducts, roofing and facade cladding, and auto body repair to cut sheet steel, aluminum and tin plate to size, make corner cuts and cut curves. In this category, İzeltaş sells 240 mm aluminum and sheet metal shears in right, left and straight types, 300 mm auto body shears in right and left types, and a 250 mm spring-loaded tinsmith's shears, per piece. Choose the shears according to the cutting direction, length, and the material and thickness of the sheet: the straight type is used on straight lines, the right and left types determine the turning direction on curved cuts, and a long blade makes it easier to hold the line on long straight cuts. The maximum thickness that can be cut varies by material; verify the capacity for sheet steel and aluminum from the manufacturer's data. Hand-type sheet metal shears are for thin sheet; on thick sheet and profiles they do not replace a lever bench shear or a guillotine.
