If a foot shear can shear 18 ga. steel, is there any way to determine what max. ga. al. it can shear of the same x/y dimensions?
In another post, I asked if anyone had ever heard of a Frederick foot shear and got no answer. I ask again.
Thanks

According to

is 1.5 x the thickness in (mild) steel. Gage conversion is in the same link. David
Thanks David.

Just saw an episode of "Mythbusters" in which they were trying to bust the myth that steel-toed boots can cut your toes off if crushed. Generally, they busted the myth except in one very important instance. They dropped a heavy load with the contact point being a piece of angle iron with the edge down. The edge of the angle iron slipped off of the steel toe and onto the unreinforced portion of the boot, resulting in a nice guillotine action, severing their test foot behind the steel toe!
Wear those steel-toed boots, but don't get careless, seems to be the message.
