This used Harsle QC12Y-4X4000 shearing machine is available from VIGERT. It is a plate shear for cutting sheet and plate metal to size.

Its 4X4000 model designation indicates 4 mm and 4,000 mm. It has a fully welded boxed-in bed, a precision back gauge and a 4 ft squaring arm.

Key Features

Fully welded boxed-in bed table with high torsional stiffness, keeping blade clearance constant through the cut
Back gauge driven by precision ACME lead screws on roller bearings; it lifts mechanically at full travel so longer pieces can be sheared
Blades chosen by shear capacity: high carbon, high chrome or high carbon/shock-resisting grades
Hand-lever blade gap adjustment on the side of the machine
Single control console for on/off, back gauge, stroke length and run mode
4 ft squaring arm on the left of the table, with a steel rule in 1/16 inch and 1 mm increments

What does the back gauge do? It positions the material for accurate cut lengths, using precision ACME lead screws, and it lifts at full travel so longer pieces can be sheared.
How is blade clearance adjusted? Blade clearance is set by a hand lever on the side of the machine.
What controls does it have? One console handles on/off, back gauge setting, stroke length and run mode.
What should I ask when enquiring? Ask for photos or video of the machine cutting, the blade condition, the control and electrics, which accessories are included, and loading and shipping arrangements.
