Durston 12″ Guillotine Shear: Unmatched Precision and Versatility

The Durston 12″ Guillotine Shear is an exceptional tool designed for jewellers and metalworkers who demand precision and versatility in their craft. This shear is not just a tool; it’s a game-changer, offering advanced features that elevate it above traditional models.

 With a robust cast-iron body and a precision-ground, hardened, and tempered cutting blade, this shear delivers unparalleled performance, cut after cut.

Innovative Features for Professional Results

What sets the Durston 12″ Guillotine Shear apart is its innovative design. The patent-pending cutting guide and table allow you to cut larger sheet materials at greater angles with ease. You can achieve precise cuts at angles up to 55° in 5° increments, making it ideal for complex projects. 

The upgraded 6-inch backstop, featuring bearing guides, eliminates movement during cutting, ensuring that every cut is accurate and repeatable. Whether you’re working with small pieces or large sheets up to 306mm wide, this shear provides the control and precision you need.

Enhanced Torque for Effortless Cutting

The shear’s square drive system, with a patent-pending rack and pinion mechanism, ensures that maximum torque is transferred directly to the blade. This design results in smoother cuts with less force required, reducing wear and tear on the machine and making it easier to use for extended periods. 

The older models with round shaft connections often suffer from wear and inefficiency, but Durston’s advanced design overcomes these issues, providing a more reliable and durable solution.

Built for Durability and Long-Term Use

The Durston 12″ Guillotine Shear is built to last, with a rigid cast-iron body and a cutting blade designed for up to 20,000 cuts. Its unique stainless steel table supports the metal as it is fed into the cutting area, making it both strong and user-friendly. 

Whether you’re cutting large or small pieces, this shear is an indispensable tool for achieving professional results in metalworking and jewellery making.
