Tennsmith's MSE Series mechanical shears utilize a low maintenance design, coupled with an array of standard features for an attractive combination of high value and solid performance.
The MSE Series come standard with four-edge, high carbon, high chrome blades, a self-leveling hold down bar with neoprene insert, single, continuous and jog stroke cycles, motor reverse switch, precision-machined table, dual inch/metric inlaid bed scales and non-metallic gibs. The MSE Series also incorporates the unique front operated 2x-F back gauge system. This system allows the operator to move the backstop from 0 to 30 inches in approximately 2 seconds with only two rotations of the handle. Capacities of the shears are 16-gauge mild steel, 22-gauge stainless with 73 or 121 cutting lengths and speeds of 40 strokes per minute.
The MSE1016 Series is available in the following configurations: MSE1016-R, MSE1016-F and MSE1016-FC.
The MSE1016-R shear is standard in a "Performance Package-R" configuration. The Performance Package includes: a five foot squaring arm, a pair of front support arms, rear material return air operated sheet support system, and parts counter.
The MSE1016-F shear is standard in a "Performance Package-F" configuration. The Performance Package includes: a four foot squaring arm, a pair of front support arms, front material return air operated sheet support system, parts counter.
