See the KBM Rolling Shear create smooth bevels on thick plate edges
Overview
The KBM Rolling Shear Series offers a unique approach to plate beveling. Instead of milling or grinding, KBM machines use rotating shear blades that slice material cleanly, producing burr-free bevels with minimal noise and virtually no dust. For shops prioritizing clean, quiet operation, the KBM series delivers.
Key Advantages
- Rolling shear cutting - Clean, burr-free bevels
- Low noise - Significantly quieter than milling
- Minimal dust - Contained chips, no airborne particles
- Fast processing - Up to 4 m/min on thin plates
Why Rolling Shear?
| Factor | Rolling Shear (KBM) | Milling (DZ/GL/DMM) |
|---|---|---|
| Noise Level | Low | Moderate-High |
| Dust/Chips | Contained chips | Airborne dust |
| Edge Quality | Burr-free | May need deburring |
| Thin Plates | Excellent (3mm+) | Limited (6mm+) |
| Thick Plates | Up to 25mm | Up to 60mm |
| Speed | Very fast | Moderate |
Which Model Should You Choose?
For sheet metal and light plate (3-15mm):
The KBM-15 is our best-selling rolling shear beveler. It covers the most common thickness range for sheet metal shops, HVAC fabrication, and light equipment manufacturing. If noise and dust control are priorities, this is the model to start with.
For thin sheet metal only (3-10mm):
Choose the KBM-10 for dedicated light-gauge work. Smaller footprint and lower power consumption make it perfect for small shops working exclusively with thin materials.
For medium plate work (5-25mm):
The KBM-25 extends rolling shear capability into heavier plate territory. Ideal for shops that need the clean, quiet operation of rolling shear on thicker materials where milling machines would otherwise be required.
Operating Principle
- Set bevel angle and depth
- Position plate against guide fence
- Feed plate into rotating shear blades
- Guide plate through at consistent speed
- Receive finished plate with clean bevel
