12" Model 2001EVO

In 2006 accucutter® completely redesigned the Model 2001 12” Shear. The new design is the result of two years of systematically evaluating and field testing every component of the 2001. No part was left unchallenged. The result of the development effort is a new shear that is lighter, more compact, more durable, and easier to use. At first glance it may look the same as the old shear, but the shear table is the only part that remains the same as the original 2001. It is the complete evolution of the 12” table shear and is named the 2001EVO. Listed below are just some of the features that make the 2001EVO unique.

A NEW 3001/13" Guillotine -
Same great performance but with a reduced size and price.
The original 3001 Series of Guillotine Shears offers the extra precision and power of a larger commercial guillotine shear in a smaller, more affordable bench shear. Available in either a 13" or 19" size, the classic guillotine design has been modified to provide convenience and flexibility unavailable in any other shear on the market. The 13" shear is shown on the left above, and the 19" shear is shown on the right above. Both shears are available with air power. (Click here to go directly to the section on air power.)
The shears are constructed to industrial standards, and the resulting size and mass of the shears contribute significantly to their performance. If you have worked with industrial equipment or machinery, you know that the heavier, sturdier equipment is more stable and less fatiguing to operate. The 13” shear weighs 85 pounds, and the 19” shear weighs 105 pounds. Most of the weight is in the guillotine action that is made primarily of steel. While lighter weight designs can move during use and be difficult to use, the 3001 does not have these problems. The shear cuts aluminum and plastic with little effort, but the real strength and quality of the design are evident when cutting harder materials like half-hard trophy brass. A full width cut is flat and square and may be made by the most timid operator.
The 3001 Series was designed and developed by accucutter® and is an accucutter® exclusive. The shears are made in the USA entirely of American materials.

Accucutter® is a US manufacturer of equipment used in the recognition and sign industries and for general lightweight metal fabrication. Its product line of shears and cornering systems is the largest offered by any company. All are original designs manufactured and assembled at its facilities in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. accucutter®, it's more than a name, it's your assurance you are buying the best.

The new 3001EVO is the newest shear in the Model 3001 series. It is a 13" guillotine shear but with a reduced overall size and price. A 7" version is now available. The details are below.
The original 3001 13 " Guillotine Shear was introduced by Accucutter® in 1999. Since it's introduction, the 3001 Series has proved to be the most durable and accurate shear on the market for the price. However, with the rising costs of raw materials the original 3001 13 " Guillotine Shear has become too expensive for some applications.

In an effort to continue to offer an affordable guillotine shear without sacrificing quality, Accucutter® conducted a complete review and evaluation of the original 3001 shear. The result of the effort is a new shear that is smaller and 35 pounds lighter than the original but still retains all the unique features of the original. Like all shears bearing the Accucutter® name, the new 3001EVO is made totally in the USA at our plant in Pennsylvania. The shear still has a cut width of 13 " and a 12" table.
“Flip-Up Hold Down”
 Accucutter®'s exclusive “Flip-Up Hold-Down” is standard on the 3001EVO. When in the down position, it automatically applies pressure to the material to facilitate smooth, accurate cutting. When necessary, the hold-down may be flipped up out of the way to permit easy access to the blades.
 Movable Handle
 The shear handle may be installed on the left or right of the shear enabling right handed and left handed operators to use the same shear.
 Precision Drop-Off Bar
 The Precision Drop-Off Bar is full width and is an invaluable aid for making accurate, repetitive cuts. It is mounted to the top blade carrier and moves up and down with the top blade like the rear gauge on many larger guillotine shears. It is above the material and doesn't interfere with the material as it falls away from the shear after it is cut. It slides on two alignment rods and is locked in position by turning a knob on each rod .
 Step Ruler
 The typical ruler is a stamped piece of thin metal. The ruler from Accucutter® is machined from a thick, solid piece of steel. There are six separate steps involved in its manufacture with the last being a precision grinding of the front edge to insure that the ruler is straight and true. Because of its thickness, it is very stable, and the edge will not lift or distort allowing material to slide underneath the ruler. Lastly, the ruler is stepped to place the measuring edge close to the work surface for easier reading. The ruler is graduated in 1/16th's of an inch.
 Blade Adjustment
 The 3001EVO uses the same blade system pioneered by Accucutter® on its 2001 Bench Shear. The blades are mounted with tapped bolts rather than the old fashion nut and bolt system, and the bottom blade is adjusted with set screws instead of eccentrics. A much safer, quicker and simpler method of installing and adjusting the blades.
