The design has been essentially unchanged since 1947. CNC-machined to the original specifications, with cast alloy-steel frame, heat-treated, and replaceable high-carbon\/high-chrome tool-steel blades.

Throatless means the cut waste clears off to the side — there's no fixed throat depth limiting how long a panel you can run through, or how tight a curve you can follow. Bolt it to a bench, work the 17\" handle, and the rack-and-pinion gearing puts the leverage where you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 14-gauge mild steel, 14-gauge aluminum, and 18-gauge stainless capacity covers the working end of most restoration and small-shop sheet metal — patch panels, brackets, gussets, exhaust shields, hand-shaped trim pieces. The 4\" blade is a lighter-duty frame than the larger throatless shears in the category; if you're cutting heavier plate or running a panel through every day, step up to a bigger unit. For occasional cuts, starter-shop work, or as a second shear dedicated to lighter material, the 11797 is the right size of tool at the right price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e21.5 lb shipping weight, ships UPS Ground. The cast-iron body sits on a three-hole base — bolt to a sturdy bench or to Eastwood's own tool stand.

Step on the foot bar and the full-length blade shears the sheet in one stroke — no power, no air, no compressor to run. It's a straightforward, dependable cut for shops doing HVAC, ductwork, and general sheet metal work, and it earns its place in trade schools and maintenance departments where a clean square cut matters more than throughput.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 52-inch length is the point of a shear like this: you square and trim large sheets in a single pass instead of working across them in sections, which keeps your edges straight and your panels consistent. The four-sided high-chromium blades can be turned and resharpened as edges wear, so a single set lasts through years of cutting before replacement. An integrated backstop with a micro-adjuster sets repeatable cuts to the same dimension, and the front support arms with squaring guides hold large sheets true to the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe machine is built on a fully welded heavy-duty steel frame for the rigidity that keeps blade geometry true and resists flex under load. Spring-assisted return brings the foot bar back on its own to reduce fatigue on repetitive cuts, and adjustable hold-downs clamp the sheet for clean, burr-free edges. At 1,110 lbs it's a permanent floor fixture — it ships freight on a pallet and bolts down in place.
