3001 Series Guillotine
Shears
Available With Air Power!

A NEW 3001/13"
Guillotine -
Same great performance but with a reduced size and
price. For more details on this new shear, e-mail us at
accutter@aol.com.

* * *
The original 3001 Series of Guillotine Shears offers the extra precision and power of a
larger commercial guillotine shear in a smaller, more affordable bench shear. Available in
either a 13" or 19" size, the classic guillotine design has been modified to
provide convenience and flexibility unavailable in any other shear on the market. The 13" shear is shown on the left above, and
the 19" shear is shown on the right above. Both shears are available with air power.
(Click here to go directly to
the section on air power.)
The shears are constructed to
industrial standards, and the resulting size and mass of the shears contribute
significantly to their performance. If you have worked with industrial equipment or
machinery, you know that the heavier, sturdier equipment is more stable and less fatiguing
to operate. The 13 shear weighs 85 pounds, and the 19 shear weighs 105 pounds.
Most of the weight is in the guillotine action that is made primarily of steel. While
lighter weight designs can move during use and be difficult to use, the 3001 does not have
these problems. The shear cuts aluminum and plastic with little effort, but the real
strength and quality of the design are evident when cutting harder materials like
half-hard trophy brass. A full width cut is flat and square and may be made by the most
timid operator.
The 3001 Series was designed and developed by
accucutterŽ and is an
accucutterŽ exclusive. The shears are made in the USA entirely of American materials.
Flip-Up Hold-Down
accucutterŽs
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 Operators Manual.
The reversible action feature is unique to accucutterŽs 3001.
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 18")
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.
Step Ruler
The typical ruler is a stamped
piece of thin metal. The ruler from accucutterŽ 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 accucutterŽ 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.
