Shop Press Shear???

admin

Does anyone have plans, pictures or a how-too for building a shear for a 20 ton shop press? I am looking for something along the line of the many press brakes that have been built.Ray

Reply:I rescued a shearing attachment off of an old Alva Allen punch press that was broken.  I will be adapting it for use with my 20 ton press.  It is designed for cutting angle iron.  I can post pics if anyone is interested.Jay DavisAWS-CWIC-60 Specialty Welding ContractorLoving husband, and father of two boys (
