Step on the foot bar and the full-length blade shears the sheet in one stroke — no power, no air, no compressor to run. It's a straightforward, dependable cut for shops doing HVAC, ductwork, and general sheet metal work, and it earns its place in trade schools and maintenance departments where a clean square cut matters more than throughput.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 52-inch length is the point of a shear like this: you square and trim large sheets in a single pass instead of working across them in sections, which keeps your edges straight and your panels consistent. The four-sided high-chromium blades can be turned and resharpened as edges wear, so a single set lasts through years of cutting before replacement. An integrated backstop with a micro-adjuster sets repeatable cuts to the same dimension, and the front support arms with squaring guides hold large sheets true to the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe machine is built on a fully welded heavy-duty steel frame for the rigidity that keeps blade geometry true and resists flex under load. Spring-assisted return brings the foot bar back on its own to reduce fatigue on repetitive cuts, and adjustable hold-downs clamp the sheet for clean, burr-free edges. At 1,110 lbs it's a permanent floor fixture — it ships freight on a pallet and bolts down in place. Backed by Baileigh's 1-year parts warranty and lifetime phone support from their US-based team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor lighter, curve-and-radius cutting that a straight foot shear can't do, see the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/throatless-shears\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Throatless Shears\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ethroatless shears\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse the full range of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sheet-metal-shear\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sheet Metal Shears\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esheet metal shears\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e to match capacity and cut length to your work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baileigh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45028658184400,"sku":"BA9-1007020","price":4199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/0775\/9312\/files\/Baileigh-SF-5216E-FootShear_1.png?v=1780355640","url":"https:\/\/shapethemetal.com\/products\/baileigh-sf-5216e-foot-stomp-shear","provider":"Shape The Metal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
