Bernardo HTS 1550 Manual Guillotine Shear
The Bernardo HTS 1550 manual guillotine shear is designed to precisely and safely cut sheet metal up to 1540 mm in length and 1.5 mm in thickness (400 N/mm²). Thanks to its modern design and robust structure, it ensures stability during operation and a long service life. The cutting motion is achieved via side levers, while the automatic hold-down bar firmly secures the sheet metal. The extendable support arm facilitates handling of large panels. Furthermore, the work surface is equipped with a tape measure and rectangular stops on both sides to ensure precise and repeatable cuts. The back gauge, adjustable up to 450 mm via a handwheel, allows for quick and accurate setting. The double-edged steel blades ensure clean, burr-free finishes. An ideal machine for workshops, light carpentry, and maintenance departments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum thickness for aluminum and stainless steel?
The nominal thickness of 1.5 mm refers to S235 steel (400 N/mm²). For aluminum, the capacity increases by 30–50% (approx. 2.1 mm). For AISI 304 stainless steel, the capacity decreases by 30–40% (approx. 1.0 mm).
Are the blades replaceable?
Yes. The cutting blades are replaceable when worn or damaged. Original Bernardo spare blades available with 3–5 business days shipping.
Does it require fixed installation or can it be 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 with a workbench vise.
Does the Bernardo HTS 1550 – Manual shear also cut copper and brass?
Yes. Copper and brass have lower strength than S235 steel: the actual capacity for copper is similar to aluminum (approx. 2.1 mm). For specific alloys, contact Krollit for verification.
Is assistance and spare parts available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 business days shipping. Customer support in Italian available.
