What does the BHS 1040 do?
It is a manual lever shear with sheet metal capacity up to 1.0 mm (400 N/mm²), length 1015 mm, suitable for craft workshops and maintenance departments.
Quick clamp, rear counterweight, adjustable fence for 45° cuts. Regular replacement of original blades maintains precision and cutting quality.
Are the blades hardened steel?
Yes, Bernardo blades are made of high-quality hardened and ground steel.
Heat treatment increases surface hardness (typically 58-62 HRC) and resistance to deformation, even when cutting alloy steels or thick aluminum.
How do you know when to replace them?
Signs include burr-filled cuts, sheet edge deformation, altered noise, and excessive operating effort.
For occasional use (hobby, maintenance) the knives last many years. For daily workshop use, it is recommended to review every 6-12 months and replace preventively every 18-24 months.
How is manual replacement performed?
For manual shears and notchers, replacement can be performed by the operator: removing fastening screws, disassembling the old knife, mounting the new one with the correct tightening torque.
Important: respect the tightening torque indicated in the manual (typically 30-60 Nm). Insufficient tightening will cause the knife to move, while excessive tightening risks cracking it. Krollit provides technical documentation.
