Achieving precise angles and measurements in metalworking hinges on the use of specialised machinery. Mechanised cutting solutions, such as treadle guillotine machines, play a vital role by facilitating the accurate cutting of sheet metal into desired shapes and sizes. This allows the metal to be readily integrated into the subsequent stages of the shaping process, or even serve as the final step in sheet metal fabrication projects.
Why Treadle Guillotine Machines Remain a Popular Choice
Below, we would like to point out several advantages that our treadle guillotine machines bring to sheet metal shearing for metal fabricators, tradesmen, and DIYers alike.
- Ideal for Smaller Jobs
With shearing capacities of up to 1250mm, our range of guillotine machines are ideally suited for handling smaller-sized metal sheets, which allows for efficient processing at a variety of potentially less acute angles. - Less Floor Space Required
Treadle guillotine machines can be easily mounted onto existing worktables, promoting efficient use of workshop space. Even the largest of these machines require a modest footprint, making them the ideal addition to any fabrication workshop. - Less Physical Exertion
Despite being manually operated and capable of handling material up to 2mm thick, our treadle guillotine machines necessitate minimal operator effort due to their powerful shearing mechanisms. - Cleaner Cuts Result in Less Material Waste
As guillotine shearing can produce accurate and clean cuts to the millimetre, there is less raw material lost due to unnecessary waste or rework, giving you better control over material expenditure.
At LSG Machine Tools, our treadle guillotine machines allow skilled metalworkers to complete a vast array of intricate, high-precision cutting tasks without too much material waste or expensive utility costs associated with powered machinery, and offer a safer alternative to clean straight cuts.
