Throatless means there's no fixed C-frame in the way of the work — the base guides the cut waste off to the side, so you can swing a full panel through the blade or follow a curve without stopping to trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10-gauge mild-steel capacity is the workhorse spec — heavier than the body-panel and trim gauges most entry shears top out at, light enough to be the everyday shear in a fab shop, restoration garage, school, or hobby workspace. 10-gauge mild covers structural sheet around 1\/8\", heavier brackets, motorsport chassis panels, and the medium-duty cutting that sits between sheet-metal and plate work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cast-iron frame weighs in at 36 lb. It bolts to a sturdy bench, takes its bite from operator leverage rather than a flywheel or motor, and stays put while you cut. No power, no air, no setup beyond mounting it down. Backed by Baileigh's 1-year parts warranty and lifetime phone tech support out of their Wisconsin office.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf the work routinely needs heavier gauges, step up to the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/baileigh-mps-5-throatless-shear\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Baileigh MPS-5 Throatless Shear\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMPS-5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e — 3\/16\" mild-steel capacity, 5.25\" curved blade, in the same Baileigh range.
