Kett double-cut shears extend material usage and reduce costs

By Joshua Smalley | July 20, 2015

According to the company, the KL-200 single-speed, double-cut straight-handle shears feed quickly and quietly, without warping or bending the finished piece.

Kett Tool’s KL-200 Double-Cut Shears help manufacturers and contractors conserve materials and cut costs. The shears deliver precision cuts in C.R. mild steel, stainless steel, plastic and Formica without warping or bending the original material or the finished piece.

“The KL-200 allows for ease of operation without damaging the final product,” said Kathy Conlon, president of Kett Tool Company. “Metal workers in all industries will save valuable time, material and money on the job with this product design from Kett Tool.”

The Double-Cut Shears’ dual blades transfer any distortion produced in cutting to a small 7/32 in. waste strip, leaving behind material edges that are not hardened or burred to allow maximum use of sheet material. The blades’ swiping action also seals edges of coated metals.

Kett’s KL-200 shears use a 4 amp straight handle, single speed electric motor to produce straight or contoured cuts in C.R. mild steel (up to 18 gauge), most grades of stainless steel to 20 gauge and 3/32 in. thick plastics and Formica – all at speeds up to 300 in. per minute. The lightweight, maneuverable shears easily follow a scribed line, capable of cutting a radius as small as 6 in. All shear heads are precision made in the U.S. featuring A-2 tool steel blades for prolonged durability.

The KL-200 Double-Cut Shears are available through authorized dealers.
