National Hydraulic Shear ?
I am thinking of purchasing a National 5216 hydraulic shear. Can anyone give
me any pros or cons on this shear? Concerns are line of sight to cutting edge and standard backgauge.....are the rules engraved in bars like a Tennsmith? |

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. |

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. wrote in message oups.com... Both are lower end American shears.

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.. Gunner "Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules.

An older stomp shear converted to hydraulic. Needs some cleanup..shrug..but the price is right. So.

If I clean it up , I can get about $1800 for it here in So. Cal. Im negotiable however..and am open to some trading.... It does have a back gauge of course Frankly..Id simply like to not have to worry about it any longer..and its not easy to store and move without a forklift. I also have a powered Diacro 6" notcher also for sale $1400. Interested? Gunner "The importance of morality is that people behave themselves even if nobody's watching. There are not enough cops and laws to replace personal morality as a means to produce a civilized society. Indeed, the police and criminal justice system are the last desperate line of defense for a civilized society.
