What does a hydraulic bar shear do?

It cuts solid bar and rod to length using hydraulic power, with no sawing, torching, or open flame. Our machines also offer options for sorting and counting, so cut pieces come off the machine ready for the next step.

How many operators does a bar shear need?

One. With easy loading and changeover, MSI hydraulic bar shears only require one person to operate, so a single operator can keep production moving without wearing out by the end of the day.

What is the difference between the MSI-100 and the MSI-70?

Both are heavy-duty hydraulic shears built for dependable daily production. The right pick comes down to the size of bar you cut and how much of it you run. Tell us about your parts and current process, and we’ll point you to the right machine or build a custom layout if neither is an exact fit.

How does the sorting option work?

Our automated machines cut until the end of the rod, then sort that end piece away from the finished cuts. You get clean, consistent parts without an operator pulling short ends out by hand.

Do hydraulic bar shears take long to learn?

No. Most of our semi- and fully-automatic machines require very little training, and you’ll receive phone support after delivery. Your team can start cutting the day the machine hits your floor.

Can you customize a bar shear for my factory floor?

Yes. Every MSI machine is made to order. We can customize your heavy-duty hydraulic bar shear to fit the dimensions of your factory floor and meet the needs of your specific application.
