Guillotines
Metal cutting guillotines are known by various names including a swing beam shear, power shear sheet metal guillotine and variable rake guillotine, in some cases reflecting the design of the machine. Morgan Rushworth direct drive mechanical guillotines are suitable for cutting lighter gauge sheet metal, with hydraulic swing beam shears and variable rake guillotines available for heavier gauge sheet and plate. Even with the advent of modern profile cutting machines, the guillotine still has a place in most fabrication workshops.
