3001 Series Guillotine
Shears
Available With Air Power!
Model 3001 25" Guillotine Shear
The 3001 Guillotine Shear was originally
designed in 1999. The first one was a 13" shear and continues in use in
Accucutter's® shop. The basic design has remained unchanged since that
original shear and is now available in either a 13" or
25" size; and in manual or air powered versions.
(Click here to go directly to the section on air powered shears.)
The 3001 shears are constructed to
industrial standards, and the resulting mass of the shears contributes
significantly to their performance. If you have worked with industrial equipment, you know that the heavier, sturdier equipment is more stable and less fatiguing
to operate. Depending on the size, the 3001 shears weigh from 70 to 150
pounds.
Most of the weight is in the guillotine action that is made primarily of steel.
Once that mass is put in motion, it wants to continue contributing to the
ease and smoothness of the operation of the shear. While
lighter weight designs can move during use and be difficult to use, the 3001 does not have
these problems. The shears cut foils, aluminum and plastic with little or no effort.
Even the most timid operator can cut harder materials like half-hard trophy
brass producing full width cuts that are flat and square.
The 3001 shears were designed and developed by
Accucutter® and are manufactured at its facility in Carlisle,
Pennsylvania.
They offer the extra precision and power of a larger commercial
guillotine shear in a smaller, more affordable bench shear that provides
convenience and flexibility unavailable in any other shear on the market.

Model 3001 Standard Features:
“Flip-Up Hold-Down”
Accucutter®’s
exclusive “Flip-Up Hold-Down” is standard on all standard 3001 shears. When in
the down position, it automatically applies pressure to the material to facilitate smooth,
accurate cutting. When necessary, the hold-down may be flipped up out of the way to permit
easy access to the blades.
Reversible Action
Most people working with
smaller shears prefer a guillotine shear that cuts from the “left to right“
while most people working with larger shears are accustomed to a guillotine shear that
cuts from “right to left”. To accommodate both, the 3001 may be set up to cut in
either direction. The direction of the action is set at the time of initial assembly and
may be changed at any time by following the instructions in the Operator’s Manual.
The reversible action feature is unique to Accucutter®’s 3001
and only applies to the 13" models.
Movable Handle
The shear handle may be
installed on the left or right of the shear enabling right handed and left handed
operators to use the same shear. The handle may be moved easily and independently of the
shear cutting action discussed above.
Reversible Precision Drop-Off Bar
The Precision Drop-Off Bar is full width (12" or
24")
and is an invaluable aid for making accurate, repetitive cuts. It has two mounting
positions. It may be mounted to the top blade carrier. In this position it moves up and
down with the top blade like the rear gauge on many larger guillotine shears. In upper
position the rear gauge is above the material and doesn't interfere with the material as
it falls away from the shear after it is cut. It also may be mounted to the bottom
blade carrier in a fixed position like the rear gauge for most scissors type shears. In
this position, it does not move with the upper shear blade, but can interfere with the
material clearing the machine after it is cut. It slides on two alignment rods and is
locked in position by turning a knob on each rod. This feature is only
available on the 13" model.
Step Ruler
The typical ruler is a stamped
piece of thin metal. The ruler from Accucutter® is machined from a thick, solid piece of
steel. There are six separate steps involved in its manufacture with the last being a
precision grinding of the front edge to insure that the ruler is straight and true.
Because of its thickness, it is very stable, and the edge will not lift or distort
allowing material to slide underneath the ruler. Lastly, the ruler is stepped to place the
measuring edge close to the work surface for easier reading. The ruler is graduated in
1/16th's of an inch.
Blade Adjustment
The
standard 3001 uses the same blade system pioneered by Accucutter® on its 2001 Bench Shear.
The blades are mounted with tapped bolts rather than the old fashion nut and bolt system,
and the bottom blade is adjusted with set screws instead of eccentrics. A much safer,
quicker and simpler method of installing and adjusting the blades.

NEW - The
3001EVO
Smaller, Lighter & Still
Great
The new 3001EVO is the newest
shear in the Model 3001 series. It is a 13" guillotine shear but with a
reduced overall size and price.
The original 3001 13"
Guillotine Shear was introduced by
Accucutter®
in 1999. Since it’s introduction, the 3001
Series has proved to be the most durable and accurate shear on the market
for the price. However, with the rising costs
of raw materials the original 3001 13"
Guillotine Shear has become too expensive for some applications.
In an effort to continue to offer an
affordable guillotine shear without sacrificing quality, Accucutter®
conducted a complete review and evaluation of the original 3001
shear. The result of the effort is a new shear that is smaller and 35 pounds
lighter than the original but still retains all the unique features of the
original. Like all shears bearing the
Accucutter®
name, the new 3001EVO is made totally in the USA at our plant in
Pennsylvania. The shear still has a cut width of 13"
and a 12" table.
“Flip-Up Hold Down”
Accucutter®'s
exclusive “Flip-Up Hold-Down” is standard on the 3001EVO. When in the down
