Durston 1206 4" Guillotine Shear

Durston 1206 4" Guillotine Shear is a compact, bench-mounted sheet-metal cutter built for precise, repeatable cuts in a professional jewelry or metalsmithing studio. It handles stock up to 110 mm (4-3/8") wide, cutting 2 mm (approx. 12 ga) non-ferrous metal and 1 mm (approx. 18 ga) mild steel with clean, controlled results. The updated design features a patent-pending stainless-steel table, an improved 6" backstop, and a square-drive system that work together for consistent, accurate cuts every time. A built-in adjustable mitre gauge and integrated ruler enable straight and angled cuts up to 60° in 5° increments, making this shear equally capable for precise right-angle trimming and angled work.
