The Scotchman 610 Shear is a versatile, shearing machine engineered for trouble free operation.
The design of the machine combines simplicity of operation with smooth, full stroke control.
The ability of the operator to control the machine’s direction of movement at any point in the stroke,
(stop, jog or reverse), gives the Scotchman Shear a tremendous advantage over mechanical shears.
There is no chance of the Scotchman being "accidentally tripped".
The Hydraulic system operates at a maximum pressure of 3,300 PSI (228 BAR) and is protected from
overload by a relief valve.
