More than 100 years after the company was founded in Germany, the shears produced by Schechtl company continue to be the leading architectural shears in the industry. The company started by blacksmith Josef Schechtl in 1910, is still a family-owned and operated business. Family and employees are experienced in sheet metal work and have passed on from generation to generation, and that knowledge is reflected in the quality of every metal shear that Schechtl manufactures. Today, there are three series of shears available, for light, medium and heavier gauge cutting. Model SMT3100 is a motor driven plate shear designed for 16 ga., MSB for 14 ga. and MSC for 11 ga. Choose from 13 models, with cutting lengths of 40″, 60″, 80″, 122″, 159″ and 174″.

Schechtl shears are the leading architectural shears in the industry because they were smartly designed from decades of sheet metal experience. They feature a deeper back-gauge of 30” (instead of 24”), a roll out wagon so you don’t have to unload the machine from your knees, and telescoping front support arms.

The MSB 3100 comes standard with a 30“ manually operated backgauge and pneumatic rear sheet support table. The sheet support system gently feeds the cut part forward upon completion of the cutting stroke. The rate of material drop is adjustable to accommodate for different material weight. This action virtually eliminates the need for the operator to retrieve parts from the rear of the machine. The backgauge handle is located toward the right side of the cutting stroke and the backgauge positioning can be adjusted the full 30” in less 7 seconds. The MSB is motor driven plate shear designed heavier gauge cutting than the SMT, up to 14 gauge. Choose from models with cutting lengths of 40”, 60”, 80” and 122”. Handling is simple: Put the metal sheet onto the table, push it between the cutting bars and start the process with the foot switch – that’s all. The machine frame is a sturdy welded steel design. The cutting bar is driven by a noiseless gear motor. All bearings and guide ways are maintenance-free
