Durston 1195 Heavy Duty 12" Guillotine Shear

The Durston 1195 Heavy Duty 12" Guillotine Shear is a true workhorse built for the demands of professional jewelry shops and institutional use alike. Engineered to last a lifetime, this shear delivers precision, repeatability, and exceptional cutting capacity in a robust, well-designed package.

Capable of cutting non-ferrous metal up to 300mm (12") wide by 4mm (0.156" / 8 gauge) thick, and mild steel up to 2.5mm (12 gauge) thick, this shear handles serious sheet metal work with ease. The precision ground, hardened, and tempered blade is designed for longevity—it can be rotated four times before sharpening is required, delivering an extended service life across heavy professional use.

The open back design accommodates sheet metal of any length, while the long pulling bar reduces the effort required for each cut. A front-mounted guard keeps the operator protected during use. The easy-to-read adjustable 12" ruler rod with an adjustable stop enables repeatable cuts up to 12" in length—simply remove the stop when longer cuts are needed. The squared front features two tightening screws for secure, consistent positioning.
