<p>In an apparatus for shearing multi-walled workpieces, such as metal framing studs, a base support (16) defines a blade gap (18) therebetween, and a guillotine-like blade (30) is slidably received within the gap for shearing the workpieces. A pair of first supports (20) are each slidably mounted on a respective base support (16, 18). A pair of second supports (22) are also each slidably mounted on the base support, and are spaced apart from and face the first supports to thereby define an adjustable-width channel (28) therebetween. Each of the supports defines a blade-like edge for engaging an elongated, multi-walled workpiece and the first and second support surfaces are each moved into contact with a respective wall of the workpiece. The supports can be oriented relative to one another such that the axis of the channel, and a longitudinal axis of the workpiece received within the channel can be oriented at a desired angle relative to the blade. The guillotine-like blade is then driven downwardly into engagement with the workpiece to shear the workpiece along a line of contact. <IMAGE></p> |
