I will post some photos of the mount early next week. But what I
ended up doing was mounting the shear to a 2x3 foot plate of metal,
then welded some 2 foot long 4inch I-beams to the bottom of this,
added a set of wheels to the back of the mount so I can roll it around
the shop. My shear is kind of big to be lifting up and down onto my
bench or into my vice. It weighs about sixty pounds and has a 44 inch
long handle. That was the main problem with puting it on my work
bench, the handle is so long, that I can't reach up to pull it down
with any leverage when it is on my bench. Now I can roll it to a
corner of my shop and by lifting one end, it will sit upright and take
up very little space in my shop. The down side is I end up working on
the floor.....

I just purchased the Enco 8 inch plate shear. I need to mount it onto
something otherwise when you pull on the handle the shear tilts
forward and you loose the leverage to cut things. I like to keep the
shear portable...Has anyone found a way to do this. The shear has
four mounting holes. I started to build a small stand for it....but
since I got interupted before welding the stand up, I thought I might
ask here before I go any further.

Thanks
