TSHD1A1

High speed pneumatic TurboShear models are available for all current TurboShear cutting applications and bring an added dimension to the versatile TurboShear product family.

Now there are pneumatic TurboShears for cutting sheet metal, asphalt shingles, fiber cement siding and backerboard. Air-powered TurboShear models offer characteristic premium performance without the premium price. You will find them compatible with your existing air supply set-up. You’ll also find our TurboShear “air power” lineup compatible with your budget.

For AUTO BODY and SHEET METAL SHOPS the model TSHD1A is the quick and easy solution for cutting extremes of large or tight patterns. This versatile 18-gauge (1.22 mm) capacity shear cuts straight and to the left and is capable of both fast, straight shearing and navigating tight circular or square pattern cuts. The shear makes short work of cutting auto body quarter panels and its compact size and wide jaw opening navigates profiles, rocker panels, even layered metal! Cutting round or square body patches is virtually effortless. Large or small sheet metal fabrications encountered in HVAC and metalworking shops can be accomplished with speed and extreme accuracy. Blade sight lines allow the user to follow a fine scribed for straight or arc edge cuts, or tight circular or square pattern cuts.

Malco’s pneumatic model TSS1A TurboShear offers the ultimate solution for fast cuts in ASPHALT SHINGLES. The TSS1A is compatible with your existing nailer air supply. Use this shingle-cutting TurboShear to make fast, clean, straight trim cuts along a roof valley, or for precise corner cuts and circles in asphalt shingles to fit around utility outlets. A lateral blade adjustment capability makes this shear maneuverable in any life-rated shingle or shingle thickness and a wide jaw opening and beveled lead-in tip on the upper blade accommodates multiple shingle layers. A generous lower blade surface area offers exceptional operator control. Heat-treated carbon steel blades feature solid carbide inserts for long service life.

There are also air-powered TurboShears specialized for cleaner, faster cutting in fiber-cement siding and backerboard. A wide skid-plate on the common head design stabilizes cutting action for low dust cutting action and an extra-smooth cutting edge. The model TSF1A is specialized for cutting 5/16” (7.9 mm) FIBER CEMENT SIDING PLANK. One set of blades will last an average of 30 residential siding projects. Model TSF2A cuts thick 1/2” (12.7 mm) FIBER CEMENT BACKERBOARD. This versatile shear replaces messy, imprecise scoring and snapping methods for cutting and trimming backerboard. Both of these versatile shears also navigate curved-pattern cuts for window and door arches. The skid plate can be reversed to extend blade cutting life.

All pneumatic TurboShear models share the same air motor and air supply specifications: 2600 RPM, 4CFM (133L/Min.), 90 PSI (6.2 Bar). Replacement blades are available for all Malco TurboShears and all replacement blades are easily installed on the job.

tight pattern cuts and for following sheet metal profiles. And a 45-degree hose clearance gets
you close to the work plane when needed.
