{"title":"HARSLE Shearing Machines","description":"\u003cp\u003eHARSLE hydraulic shearing machines deliver clean, straight cuts on sheet and plate metal — the first step in most fabrication workflows. HARSLE offers two series built for different cutting demands: the PrimeShear guillotine for thick-plate, high-precision work, and the LiteShear swing beam for cost-effective everyday sheet cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich HARSLE Shearing Series Is Right For You?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSeries\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCutting Motion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Thickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModels Available\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimeShear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGuillotine (linear vertical, adjustable rake angle)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThick plates, high precision, heavy-duty production\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 16mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0832, 1032, 1232, 1632\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLiteShear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwing beam (arc motion, fixed angle)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThin sheets, general fabrication, prototyping\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 10mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0432, 0632, 0832, 1032\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between guillotine and swing beam shearing machines?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuillotine (PrimeShear) uses linear vertical blade movement with an adjustable rake angle, ideal for thicker plates.
