well actually I am looking into a brand new Pexto PH-452.....I just want
something better than my current Tennsmith 52" air shear. Am I right to
assume hydraulic will be better? Also I see you are familiar with the
Pexto.....do you have to start the machine every time you cut stock? Wasn't
sure if the motor just runs when pedal is depressed or etc. Thanks for your
input.

Both are lower end American shears. If it is not used and you are
buying new, set your sights a little higher and buy a PEXTO, Wysong or
Cincinnati used. You will be happier in the long run.


To the best of my knowledge..all hydraulic shears need to be turned on
before operation..so the pump runs when its turned on.

Which can be noisy..
