Description
The Beverly shear is for cutting sheet metal up to 10 gauge in mild steel and 14 gauge in stainless steel.
To Do
Adjust blade. Make a sign with allowable thicknesses.
Blade Adjustment
Beverly suggests starting with a clearance between the blades of 1/4 the thickness of the material and decrease this until you get a cut edge with no burr. Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance. Soft material-small clearance, harder material-large clearance, with a factor thrown in for material thickness.
