The KANG Bench Guillotine Shear BHS-12 is a compact, manual bench-mounted sheet metal guillotine designed for precise, clean cutting of thin metal sheets in workshops, garages, and small fabrication setups. Featuring a 305 mm shearing length, this heavy-duty manual shear handles mild steel up to 1 mm thick with ease. It mounts securely on any sturdy workbench and includes adjustable rear depth stops (up to 180 mm range), a front measuring scale, squaring facility for accurate 90° cuts, and a front stop range of 180 mm. The blades are reversible and ground on both edges for extended life, with built-in safe blade protection to minimise injury risk. Overall dimensions are 460x 440 x 670 mm (L x W x H, including handles), and it weighs a manageable 21kg — making it easy to position or store when not in use. Fully manual operation means no electricity or air required, perfect for reliable performance anywhere. Ideal for DIY enthusiasts, hobby metalworkers, automotive restorers, air-conditioning installers, or small tradespeople needing accurate straight cuts on sheet metal without investing in larger powered equipment.
Ultra-Compact & Bench-Friendly Design. At just 21 kg and under 460 mm wide, it fits perfectly on standard garage/workshop benches without dominating space — great for home sheds, mobile tradie setups, or space-limited environments.
Pure Manual Reliability Guillotine Shear. Zero Power Needed: No cords, batteries, or compressors required; ideal for remote rural sites, off-grid workshops, job sites with power issues, or during blackouts — a practical choice for Australia's vast regional areas.
Precise & Repeatable Cuts. Adjustable back stop (0–1800 mm) and front gauge/scale plus squaring arm ensure straight, accurate cuts every time; perfect for repetitive work like ducting, flashing, brackets, or custom panels.
Strong 1 mm Mild Steel Cutting Capacity in a Small Package. Handles everyday sheet metal (galvanised, zincanneal, colourbond) up to 1 mm thick over 300 mm width — sufficient for most light fabrication, roofing, or restoration jobs without needing a bigger, more expensive machine.
Long-Lasting Reversible Blades: Blades ground on both sides can be flipped for double the service life before sharpening; reduces long-term costs and downtime for budget-conscious buyers.
Safety & Ease of Use Shearing Machine. Includes blade guard/protection and ergonomic hand lever operation; low physical effort thanks to good leverage, suitable for solo use by hobbyists or professionals.
Affordable & Portable Entry-Level Professional Sheet Cutting Machine. Lightweight enough to move/store easily, yet robustly fabricated for workshop durability — excellent value for workers seeking quality without high import prices or large footprints.
