Review on Shop Fox M1052 3-In-1 Sheet Metal Machine, 12-Inch by James Weber

Revainrating 4 out of 5

But it is easily 2x better than the micromark

i was trying to make due with a micromark shear, and it would not cut anything! I am able to use the shop fox shear now to cut thin metal and printed circuit board material. It struggles with thicker stock, and with a full 12" long .062" pcb board you would have to wail on that handle-the handle is a little too short for the proper force to be applied. But it is easily 2x better than the micromark. I am happy with it.If you need to really cut long or thicker material.you really need a 36" shear with a long handle.Product update: 2 years later, and this puppy is still going strong. Makes precision cuts in sheet metal and PCB material.
