The throatless design cuts in any direction and around any radius, which is the point: a panel can be turned freely under the blade without a fixed throat depth limiting where the cut can go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the genuine Beverly, made by Mittler Bros. in Wright City, Missouri using the original drawings, fixtures, jigs, foundries, and material suppliers from the Chicago plant where Kurt Nebel first built these shears in 1931. 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. None of this is decorative — it is why a Beverly bought new today behaves the same as a Beverly bought in 1965, and why used B2s from the 1950s and 60s still show up working in production shops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe B2 is the unit to choose when 14-gauge isn't enough and 7-gauge production capacity is more than the work needs. 10-gauge mild steel covers structural sheet (~1\/8\"), heavier brackets, motorsport chassis panels, and the medium-duty fabrication work that sits between body-panel and plate-cutting jobs. At 35 lbs it's still light enough to bench-mount and move around the shop — 23 lbs lighter than the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/b3-throatless-beverly-shear\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"B3 Throatless Beverly Shear\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eB3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, which matters if the shear doesn't live in one spot.
