Variable-speed shears cut metal without distortion

Kett Tool’s KD-442 variable-speed scissor shears offer double cutting action that delivers straight cuts in cold-rolled mild steel and stainless steel without burring or buckling the original material or the finished piece.

The 5-lb. shears transfer any distortion produced in cutting to a waste strip, leaving behind material edges that are not rough or burred. The machine uses a 5-amp pistol-grip, 2,500-RPM variable-speed electric motor to cut through cold-rolled mild steel up to 16 ga., most grades of stainless to 18 ga., sheet metal, spiral pipe, metal doors, and metal studs at speeds up to 170 IPM.

The close-cutting, heavy-duty blades can cut a radius as small as 7 in. All shear heads feature A2 tool steel blades.
