What Is Guillotine Cutting?
The Shear Advantage
Guillotine cutting - also known as metal shearing - uses a high-powered mechanical blade to slice through flat metal sheets with zero heat distortion.
Why It Works
- Maintains material integrity (no heat-affected zones).
- Delivers sharp, clean edges ready for fabrication.
- Ensures consistent repeatability across production runs.
