Cutting & Shearing
Shearing Force Calculator
Calculate the required force for guillotine shearing operations. Compare forces with and without rake angle to optimize your shearing process.
- Cut Length: The length of the cut being made.
- Rake Angle: Blade inclination angle (typically 1-3°).
- Force Comparison: See force reduction with rake angle.
- Machine Selection: Choose appropriate shear capacity.

Theory & Formulas
Shearing Force Formulas:
Without Rake Angle:
F = L × T × τ
With Rake Angle:
F = (T² × τ) / (2 × tan(α))
Where:
- L = Cut length
- T = Thickness
- τ = Shear strength
- α = Rake angle (°)
Rake angle significantly reduces required force!
Without Rake Angle:
F = L × T × τ
With Rake Angle:
F = (T² × τ) / (2 × tan(α))

- T = Thickness
- τ = Shear strength
- α = Rake angle (°)
