Durston 6″ Guillotine Shear: Precision and Versatility

The Durston 6″ Guillotine Shear is an innovative and essential tool for jewellers and metalworkers who demand precision and versatility. This shear represents a significant leap forward in design and functionality, offering features that make it stand out in any workshop. 

Whether you are cutting small pieces or larger sheets, this tool ensures that every cut is clean, precise, and effortless.

Innovative Design for Enhanced Performance

One of the most impressive features of the Durston 6″ Guillotine Shear is its patent-pending cutting guide and table. This unique design allows you to cut larger sheet materials at greater angles, giving you more flexibility in your work. The 6-inch shear supports cutting angles up to 60° in 5° increments, providing the precision you need for complex projects. 

Additionally, the upgraded 6-inch backstop, equipped with bearing guides, eliminates movement during cutting. This ensures that each cut is accurate and repeatable, even when working with larger sheets of metal.

Maximum Torque for Effortless Operation

Durston has equipped this innovative guillotine shear with a unique square drive system, featuring a patent-pending rack and pinion mechanism. This system maximises torque transfer from the pull-down bar directly to the blade, ensuring a smoother cut with less effort. 

Unlike older models that suffer from wear due to round shaft connections, this new system delivers consistent power and precision, making it ideal for both small and large metalworking projects.

Built to Last with Durston Quality

Constructed from rigid cast iron, the 6″ Guillotine Shear is designed for durability and long-lasting performance. The precision-ground, hardened, and tempered cutting blade features four cutting edges, capable of delivering up to 20,000 cuts. 

With adjustable features like the mitre gauge and ruler, this guillotine shear is equipped to handle various non-ferrous metals, making it an indispensable tool in any jeweller’s or metalworker’s arsenal.
