Beverly shears: b1 or b2?
#1
I've been reading that the best metal cutting device for armorers is the Beverly 'throatless' shears. While the armorer lists say the b2 is ideal, it would seem to me the b1, which is a lot smaller and less expensive, would be fine for Roman work, particularly as lorica are 16 or 18 gauge mild steel. Any experience with these models?<br>
<br>
<br>
Capacities<br>
B1 model:<br>
14 gauge mild<br>
18 gauge stainless &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp<br>
18 pounds (portable? they sell a stand)<br>
<br>
B2 model:<br>
10 gauge mild<br>
14 gauge stainless &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp<br>
35 pounds<br>
<br>
B3 model:<br>
3/16" mild<br>
10 gauge stainless<br>
58 pounds<br>
