Precision Cutting with Durston’s 4″ Guillotine Shear

The Durston 4″ Guillotine Shear is a game-changer in metal cutting, designed to elevate precision and efficiency in your workshop. This new model, part of Durston’s renowned range of tools, introduces several innovative features that set it apart from traditional guillotine shears. Whether you’re a professional jeweller or a serious hobbyist, this tool ensures that your cutting tasks are executed with unmatched accuracy and ease.

Innovative Design for Enhanced Versatility

A standout feature of the Durston 4″ Guillotine Shear is its patent-pending cutting guide and table. This innovative design allows you to cut larger sheets of metal at greater angles, providing flexibility and precision. The shear supports cutting angles up to 60° in 5° increments, a significant improvement over conventional models. Additionally, the upgraded 6-inch backstop, fitted with smooth bearing guides, eliminates any movement during cutting. This ensures that every cut is precise and repeatable, whether you’re working with narrow strips or wider sheets of metal.

Maximum Torque with the Square Drive System

Durston has equipped this 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

Crafted from durable cast iron, the 4″ Guillotine Shear is built to withstand heavy use in busy workshops. The precision-ground, hardened, and tempered cutting blade boasts four cutting edges, allowing up to 20,000 cuts. With adjustable features such as the mitre gauge and ruler, this shear is designed to handle a variety of non-ferrous metals with ease, making it a versatile and essential tool for metalworking.
