S H E A Rsfootsquaringseriesmo d els3652Model 52Tennsmith’s squaring shears offer precisionshearing and rugged construction at an affordableprice. The shear frame, bed and cutter headassemblies are constructed of heavy-duty castiron. The shear bed is machined and then surfaceground to precision tolerances to ensure anaccurate working surface.These shears feature triaction, high-carbon highchromium (HCHC) steel blades. Both the upperand lower blades have a 2-degree edge relief andthe lower blade has an additional 1-degree facerelief for maximum material penetration withminimum effort. Triaction blades help preventmaterial movement while shearing, prolongingblade life.TENNSMITH shears have the most completeadjustment features of any sheet metal shear12on the market. The lower shear blade is bedadjusting and the upper blade is adjustable bymeans of a truss bar on the cutter head. Thespring-activated holddown feet clamp the workpiece securely in place and are easily adjustable tocompensate holding pressure for light or heavygauge material. There is ample clearance betweenthe holddown feet and shear blades to allowgood operator vision for line-of-sight cutting.The standard, double-locking back gauge, whichfeatures embossed scales and vernier wheels forfine adjustment, gives highly accurate readings.Foot-squaring ShearsModel 36Model 52Maximum shearing capacity, mild steel16 gauge/1.6 mm16 gauge/1.6 mmMaximum shearing capacity, stainless steel20 gauge/1.0 mm20 gauge/1.0 mmMaximum cutting length37 in./940 mm52-1/4 in./1327 mmBack gauge range30 in./762 mm30 in./762 mmFront gauge range37 in./940 mm37 in./940 mmFloor space, gauges in position45 x 80 in.1143 x 2032 mm60 x 80 in.1524 x 2032 mmDimensions, less gauges, LxWxH46-1/2 x 27 x 42 in.1181 x 686 x 1067 mm61 x 36 x 42 in.1550 x 915 x 1067 mmShipping weight700 Ibs./317.5 kg950 Ibs./431 kgStandard equipment includes a back gauge, front extension arms with stop, bevel gauge and graduated side scales.Additional option: Squaring arm.

The air shears utilize heavyduty, tie rod-type pneumatic cylinders, whichprovide up to 40 strokes per minute in capacitymaterials.A foot-operated air valve control, pressureregulator, air gauge, oiler/condenser cups andneoprene, padded holddown feet are standardfeatures. We recommend a maximum air supplyof 75 psi for operating these shears at ratedcapacity. Where air supply pressures exceed75 psi, an in-line regulator is helpful to providepressure control.The model 52H cycles at 45 strokes a minute,thanks to its first class hydraulic system. Thehydraulic unit is of a low maintenance designfeaturing a solenoid actuated valve, 3-hp electricmotor, self contained pump in tank withpressure gauge, check valve and industrial qualitycylinders. The motor is protected by a magneticstarter.Other electrical safety features include a lowvoltage on/off switch; low voltage, shrouded,electric foot switch; step-down transformer withlow voltage circuit fuse; fully enclosed electricalbox; and insulated reinforced conduit for allwiring.
