Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum thickness for aluminum and stainless steel?

The nominal thickness of 1.6 mm refers to S235 steel (400 N/mm²). For aluminum, the capacity increases by 30–50% (approx. 2.2 mm). For AISI 304 stainless steel, the capacity is reduced by 30–40% (approx. 1.0 mm).

Are the blades replaceable?

Yes. The cutting blades are replaceable when worn or damaged. Original Bernardo replacement blades available with 3–5 working days shipping.

Does it require fixed installation or is it used on a workbench?

Most Bernardo lever shears are fixed to a workbench or floor with bolts. They do not require a special foundation. More compact versions can also be used on a workbench vise.

Does the Bernardo Foot-operated Shears FBS 1320 also cut copper and brass?

Yes. Copper and brass have lower resistance than S235 steel: the actual capacity on copper is similar to aluminum (approx. 2.2 mm). For specific alloys, contact Krollit for verification.
