This Haco is a used guillotine shear — also known as a guillotine cutter or squaring shear — a machine designed to make straight, clean cuts across sheet metal in a single downward stroke of the blade. Haco is a Belgian manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for metal fabrication machinery, including shears, press brakes, and related equipment, serving industries such as metalworking, fabrication, and sheet-metal processing.
The key specifications provided for this machine are a cutting length of 2,500 mm and a maximum sheet thickness of 8 mm when cutting St 45 grade steel. The 2,500 mm throat gives the machine a substantial working width, making it well suited to processing full-format or large sheet stock in a production or job-shop environment. The 8 mm capacity on St 45 — a medium-strength structural steel — indicates this is a robust, heavy-duty shear capable of handling material well beyond light-gauge work.
Buyers should note that this machine is listed without a backgauge. A backgauge is the adjustable stop that positions sheet material to a precise depth before cutting, and its absence means that a separate gauging arrangement or manual setup will be required if repeatable cut depths are needed. This is relevant to consider when evaluating the machine for production use.
The machine is located in Belgium and is offered in used condition.
