Designed by Kent Raible and made in the USA, the Chopper Granulation Shear is a precision tool engineered for rapid, high-volume production of those snippets. While it resembles a simple shear at first glance, the Chopper incorporates sophisticated engineering that sets it apart from conventional cutting tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe key innovation is a spring-loaded stop side that moves down and out of the way as the shear is actuated, eliminating the reset delay that slows conventional shears. As a result, you can cut snippets as small as 0.1 mm in length as fast as you can move the lever. Kent himself reports chopping at up to 8 cuts per second. For even faster production, the Chopper accepts a double load of 0.4 mm wire, yielding twice the snippets per stroke. Kent works primarily with 0.4 mm wire, cutting a variety of snippet lengths mostly under 1.0 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA built-in slide catches each snippet and directs it into an included container, keeping your precious metal cuts secure and organized at the bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring-loaded stop side enables continuous rapid cutting without manual reset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCuts snippets as small as 0.1 mm in length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-load capacity with 0.4 mm wire for doubled output per stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReported cutting speed of up to 8 strokes per second\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated snippet slide channels cuts directly into the included collection container\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum repeatable cut length of 10 mm using the built-in stop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat you get:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChopper Granulation Shear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollection container for wire snippets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWire diameters up to 1.2 mm can be cut, with 0.4 mm the diameter the designer works with most.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Otto Frei","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43584411042006,"sku":"153.926","price":475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/kent-raible-s-chopper-granulation-shear-otto-frei-1.jpg?v=1719956211","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/it\/products\/kent-raibles-chopper-granulation-shear","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
