Make sure you heed the interactions regarding max gauge
(20). Otherwise. the table will bend/break in the middle. Also, this machine is seriously top-heavy. Bolt it down securely.

Bob Shear blades are angled, so they only engage a small amount of the material being cut at any given instant. Thus the width of the piece being cut doesn't affect how thick a piece it can cut. The forces required by the brake to bend a piece do depend on the width of the piece. So I'd expect you could bend a somewhat thicker piece if it isn't full width. I'd proceed cautiously, though. The limit might be in the fingers, or the piece holding them. Since an individual finger doesn't extend full width, it will see the same force when bending any given piece equal to or greater than its own width. Mine hasn't arrived yet, of course, but when it does I'm not going to force it. At least I'm not until I get a feel for how stressed it actually is when making a bend. It is, after all, only a 300 pound $200 machine. You can't expect it to do the work of a heavy industrial machine. I did buy it with the idea of mostly cutting and forming aluminum. I do expect it can handle a thicker piece of aluminum than it can steel. But even so, I doubt it'll be happy shearing 11 gauge aluminum rack panels. Not gonna force it, wouldn't be prudent. Gary |

Hi,
I have been following this thread with interest. Years ago I REALLY wanted sheet metal capability in my shop. I looked and studied and talked to alot of people about what options were available to the home shop. I also repeatily looked at the 30" 3in1 combination machine. The wiser heads of this discussion group continued to say that even though the Pexto/Diacro route was more expensive and would take up more space, that these machines are built for the long haul and are well worth the money. As I continued to review my options, I started noticing that those who had the Asian combination machines were either trying to sell them or had broken the tables using them. Well, it took me awhile to take the hint but I decided that I would rather buy the machine once instead of twice. I went the used Diacro route and have never been happier. I also want to thank the group for saving me from making a rather expensive mistake. While I think the Asian combination machine has its place, be sure that you will be satisfied with the limitations of guage thickness before you buy it. Over the last five years, I have seen seven of the combination machines with broken tables. Also realize that you will need to do the regular cleanup and mods that Asian machines require. I believe that a contributor to this group has a very good writeup as to what he had to do to bring an "Asian Wonder" up to his standards. You also might want to ask yourself why Harbor Freight is closing these machines out. More than once in the past, I have found that I would rather have the new machine with more features/capacity that is replacing the "closeout special".

No, there are assorted sizes (1", 2", 3", ...) that allow you to make any width from 1 inch to 30 inches in increments of 1 inch. For fractional widths, you simply space out some small gaps. |

On my order status page at Harbor Freight it says delivery by parcel post. Do they mean UPS or Fedex? It seems kind of heavy, unless there is more than one crate. Thanks. I got a postcard in the mail indicating they'd consigned it to a trucking company. I got a call from the trucking company the next day. I had to be able to unload it off the truck deck, they charged $65 to deliver with a truch with a lift gate. Fortunately, I live in a really nice neighborhood and my next door neighbor has a forklift. If I hadn't had a forlift I think two guys could manage it on a ramp of a couple of 2 X 12s.

Don't worry about it unless you need the shear to stay sharp enough to cut very thin materials that scissors or a papercutter would cut easily. I had a shear and notcher in my lab for many years that were used on both cct boards and typically .062" aluminum sheetmetal, a few cuts a week. No problem. |
