These table-top hand PCB shears are manufactured with maximum safety in mind. The lower and upper cutting blades of the cutter are constructed from Hardened and Profile Ground GFS01 Tool Steel and are adjustable to allowing effective cutting. No excessive stress is applied to the substrate and with FR4, no dangerous dust is created as a result (as with milling).
The top cutting blade is enclosed by a clear plastic PETG safety guard thus preventing access to the cutting area and in addition a safety latch is fitted to prevent operation of the shear without the latch first being released. The PCB cutters also feature four fixing locations to allow permanent fixing to a bench top or surface, negating any potential slippage during cutting.
