<p><b>Shearing</b>, also known as <b>die cutting</b>, is a process that cuts stock without the formation of chips or the use of burning or melting. Strictly speaking, if the cutting blades are straight the process is called shearing; if the cutting blades are curved then they are shearing-type operations. The most commonly sheared materials are in the form of <a href="page.php?w=sheet_metal">sheet metal</a> or plates. However, rods can also be sheared.
