chalmers & Corner 1900mm Foot Treadle Sheet Metal Guillotine Shear – 715kg

CHALMERS & CORNER 1900MM FOOT-OPERATED SHEET METAL GUILLOTINE / TREADLE SHEAR

Heavy-duty Chalmers & Corner manual sheet-metal guillotine, operated by a full-width foot treadle.

This is a traditional mechanical guillotine built for cutting sheet metal without the need for electrical or hydraulic power. The long treadle operates the blade through the machine’s mechanical linkage and spring return system, making it simple, reliable and well suited to fabrication workshops, maintenance departments, sheet-metal shops and general engineering use.

Chalmers & Corner is a long-established Australian name in sheet-metal machinery, and their guillotines, presses, folders and pan brakes are still actively supported with replacement parts and servicing.
