Shearing is a metal cutting process that involves applying a high force to a material so that it fails and separates along a straight line. It is primarily used for cutting '''sheet metal''', '''plate''', or '''bar stock''' without producing chips or melting the material. In shearing, two blades—one fixed (lower) and one moving (upper)—work together like..." Tag: Visual edit
