Perfect for small fabrication shops, hobbyists, and educational settings, this portable 18 pound tool delivers professional cutting results without requiring electricity or complicated setup. Looking for a way to cut complex shapes in sheet metal without investing in expensive CNC equipment or power tools? The Baileigh MPS-1 throatless shear gives you the freedom to create virtually any pattern you can imagine. Unlike traditional shears that force material through a fixed throat, this innovative design lets you freely maneuver your workpiece around the blade, opening up endless possibilities for custom fabrication work. This isn't just another bench tool taking up space in your shop. The MPS-1 combines rugged cast iron construction with thoughtful engineering to deliver clean, burr free cuts every time. The curved blade design works in harmony with an intelligently shaped base that guides material away from the cutting edge as you work. What does this mean for you? No more stopping to trim or reposition your workpiece. You can make continuous cuts on large panels, saving valuable production time and reducing material waste. Whether you're crafting custom automotive parts, creating decorative metalwork, or teaching sheet metal fundamentals, the MPS-1 delivers professional results with surprising ease. At just 18 pounds, you can mount it permanently to your workbench or take it wherever your projects demand. The manual operation means zero electricity costs and complete control over every cut, while the 4.25 inch blade tackles everything from gentle curves to tight radius work. Product Video Applications Custom Automotive Fabrication: Cut body panels, brackets, and trim pieces for restoration projects and custom builds HVAC Ductwork: Shape sheet metal for custom ductwork, transitions, and specialized fittings Decorative Metalwork: Create artistic designs, signage, and ornamental pieces with intricate curves and patterns Prototype Development: Quickly produce test pieces and prototype parts without committing to expensive tooling Educational Training: Teach proper shearing techniques and sheet metal fundamentals in vocational programs General Fabrication: Handle everyday cutting tasks in small shops, from brackets to repair patches Key Features & Benefits Throatless Design for Unlimited Flexibility: Unlike conventional shears, there's no throat restricting your material movement. You can cut panels of any size and maneuver your workpiece freely to create straight lines, sweeping curves, or complex irregular shapes. This gives you design freedom that would otherwise require expensive powered equipment. Cuts 14-Gauge Mild Steel with Ease: The 4.25-inch curved blade slices through tough materials without struggling, giving you clean cuts in 14-gauge mild steel, aluminum, and even 18-gauge stainless steel. You get professional results without the muscle fatigue that comes with lesser tools. Smart Base Design Saves Production Time: The ingeniously shaped cast iron base automatically guides your material away from the blade as you cut. This means you can make continuous cuts without stopping to trim or reposition, dramatically reducing the time needed to complete each project. Ultra-Portable at Just 18 Pounds: Need to work at a customer's site or move between job locations? This lightweight shear goes wherever you do. Mount it to your bench when you're in the shop, or bring it along for on-site fabrication work. You get shop-quality cuts without being tied to one location. Cast Iron Construction for Lasting Accuracy: The solid cast iron frame isn't just about durability. It provides the rigidity needed to maintain precise blade alignment year after year, ensuring your cuts stay accurate and square even after thousands of operations. Manual Operation Means Complete Control: No electricity, no compressed air, no complicated controls. You determine the cutting speed and pressure for each material type. This hands-on approach gives you better feel for the work and eliminates the noise and operating costs of powered equipment. One-Year Warranty Plus Lifetime Phone Support: Baileigh backs the MPS-1 with a one-year parts warranty and lifetime technical support by phone. If you ever have questions about operation, maintenance, or troubleshooting, knowledgeable support is just a phone call away.
