I just bought a shear similar to this one, to facilitate making electronic enclosures. As such, the main thing is to get straight cuts without "pretzelizing" the pieces. I did look at the 3 in 1 machines but the inexpensive ones don't get good reviews and cost in the $250 range.
Since they are for electronics I'm not looking at making really large boxes. The main limitation is going to be my little Harbor Freight brake, which is 18 inches wide.
Does anyone have tips on getting the best results from this type of shear? Any "gotchas" to be aware of?
