Answer: Shearing maintains roundness and dimensional stability, especially with supported tooling.
Shearing, as utilized by Haven Manufacturing’s Dual-Blade Shear and KleenCut technologies, maintains superior tube integrity compared to other methods like sawing or laser cutting. These systems produce burr-free, dimple-free cuts with minimal material deformation, preserving the tube’s structural and dimensional integrity. Unlike sawing, which can create burrs requiring secondary finishing, or laser cutting, which may introduce heat-affected zones altering material properties, Haven’s shearing methods ensure clean, precise cuts across materials like steel and aluminum. This reduces material waste and eliminates post-processing, making it ideal for high-volume production in industries such as automotive and aerospace.
