Description
Shear sheet metal panels, mower deck baffles, and trailer skin panels without creating ragged torch edges. The Baileigh SH-5216A Mild Steel Air shear cuts 52-inch wide 16-gauge sheet metal cleanly. This pneumatic guillotine shear operates on compressed shop air. It requires an air compressor supplying 90 PSI at 6 CFM to maintain cutting speed.
Heavy cast-iron side frames pair with a welded steel table bed, stopping blade deflection under full-width cutting loads. Dual high-pressure pneumatic cylinders drive the top blade down through high-carbon chromium shear blades. An integrated sheet metal hold-down clamp secures stock against the table before blades engage, preventing sheet slip. Manual back gauge rods allow rapid dimensional setup for repetitive sheet shearing.
Key Features of Baileigh BA9-1007163
Turf equipment fabricators use this pneumatic shear to cut replacement deck discharge chutes and trailer fender skins. The air-powered cylinders eliminate hydraulic oil leaks in sheet metal bays.
- 52-inch cutting width handles full-size four-foot sheet metal stock without diagonal trimming
- 16-gauge mild steel cutting capacity cuts sheet metal, aluminum, and stainless steel
- Pneumatic cylinder operation runs on clean shop air without hydraulic pumps or oil storage
- High-carbon chromium shear blades feature four cutting edges for extended blade life
- Integrated mechanical hold-down bar clamps sheet stock firmly before shear blades contact
- Manual back gauge with precision scale ensures accurate sheet dimensioning for repeat cuts
- Shrouded pneumatic foot pedal control provides hands-free shear blade cycling
Pneumatic Shear Performance Dyno Telemetry
Cutting cycle tests confirm 35 full-width cutting strokes per minute under 90 PSI air line pressure. Air consumption measures 5.8 CFM during continuous full-length shearing of 16-gauge mild steel. Sheet edge burr height measures under 0.002 inches across the entire 52-inch cut length. Table bed deflection remains under 0.0015 inches during maximum capacity cuts. Sound pressure registers 74 dBA.
Sheet Metal Shearing Safety Filters
Connect clean, dry compressed air through an inline filter-lubricator regulator before operating the foot pedal. Keep hands behind the clear plastic finger guard and verify that sheet stock rests flat against back gauge stops. Do not attempt to shear hardened spring steel or materials exceeding 16-gauge rating.
- Pneumatic cylinders require inline air tool oil lubrication via air lubricator bowls
- Shear blade gap clearance requires feeler gauge inspection and adjustment every six months
- Table guide rail surfaces demand dry silicone spray to prevent sheet metal scratching
