The shear cuts cleanly to a scribed line, but marking and squaring every strip by hand is slow, and no two marked lines are quite the same. The back gauge puts a fixed stop behind the blade: set it once, feed the sheet in until it touches, step on the pedal, and every piece comes off at the same width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also fits the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mittler-bros-52-pneumatic-shear-3000-52-16-p\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Mittler Bros. 52 inch Pneumatic Shear\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMittler Bros. 52\" Pneumatic Shear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e (3000-52-16-P), which is built on the same frame as the foot shear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the work it pays for itself on.
