Common shear capacities run 1.6mm, 2.5mm, and 3.5mm in mild steel — match to the heaviest material you'll routinely cut. Pushing a shear beyond its rated capacity damages the cutting blade and motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBevelling — why it matters for welding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor welded butt joints in plate, the cut edges need to be bevelled to allow weld penetration through the joint thickness. Standard practice is a 30° bevel on each side, producing a 60° included angle for filler weld deposition. A clean, consistent bevel makes for a sound, full-penetration weld; a rough, irregular bevel produces lack-of-fusion defects and porosity. Power bevelling tools produce bevels in seconds that grinding takes minutes to achieve, with much better consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBrands stocked at AIMS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power shears and bevelling tools range covers trade-grade equipment from approved manufacturers.
