Metal-cutting shear for sheet-metal work
The Fein BSS 1.6 E Shear is a corded electric tool built for cutting sheet metal up to 16 gauge. Its variable-speed motor runs from 2100 rpm to 4500 rpm, letting the operator match speed to material. A clear sight line to the cutting area improves accuracy on straight or curved cuts. Quick-change blades reduce downtime when switching tasks.
Replaces hand snips and slower single-speed shears
Users moving up from manual snips or fixed-speed shears gain consistent cut quality and less fatigue on repetitive jobs. The upgrade makes sense when daily cutting volume justifies electric power and when the 1.6 mm capacity matches the thickest stock in the shop. It is not for buyers who need to cut plate thicker than 16 gauge or who require a battery-powered tool for remote sites.
Dust-sealed bearings maintain cut quality during
Sealed bearings keep abrasive particles out of the motor, so speed and torque stay steady during extended cutting sessions. The 4.0 A draw remains stable without the thermal drop-off common in unsealed designs. Variable-speed control prevents blade chatter on thin gauge material even after hours of continuous use.

Questions about this item
What blade does the BSS 1.6 E Shear use for its 16 gauge capacity?
The shear uses quick-change blades that swap without tools; they are designed to cut sheet metal up to 16 gauge thick.
How do I set the variable speed range of 2100 to 4500 rpm?
Use the variable-speed trigger or dial to select any speed between 2100 and 4500 rpm; start low and increase once the cut is established.
When should I service the dust-sealed bearings?
The dust-sealed bearings are lubricated for life and need no routine greasing; replace them only if noise or play develops after heavy use.
