Stomp Shear.

[Farmboy]

Tired of the inconsistent cuts from my Fletcher and replacing the bushings has done little to help.
My question is, can a shear cut 6mm ACM and also coro without crushing the edge. I'd like to not use the Fletcher at all and free up the floor space.
Thank you.

We cut 6mm with a hydraulic shear, stomp should do the same. Coro I dunno, the hold down will probably crush it

We cut 6mm on our 4' stomp shear. Coro doesn't work though.
I had been holding out for a used 8' stomp shear for years but had a chance to get this 4' and so glad I did, realy speeds things up.

I cut coro on an electric shear. It crushes the edge but it still usable.

Would probably need two people to step on it but price is pretty decent

I cut coro on our ancient 5' stomp shear, no real issues with the edges unless you go slowly...

Cut coro and 6mm acm with Tennsmith 54" stomp shear, with no problems or damage.

I got a handheld electric metal shear for 4mm ACP panel and a handheld electric concrete shear for thicker stuff...got to clamp a straight edge on the sheet to run a straight cut and it takes an 1/8" ribbon out of the center with each cut but it leaves a fairly nice slightly rounded "safe" edge to the ACP panel...it can also do curves....I havent tested it on coro though, I assume it would crush a bit....we could never get our Fletcher to cut ACP straight...
A hot wire cutter like they use for airplane foam would likely work better for coro...
