Product Overview
Compact powered cutting for everyday sheet metal work.
The Q11G small sheet metal shearing machine uses an all-steel welded body and a motor-driven mechanical cutting system to make straight cuts in suitable thin sheet. It provides a practical middle ground between a manual shear and a larger hydraulic system for workshops that cut regularly but do not need heavy-plate capacity.
The motor, cycloidal pinwheel reducer, brake and mechanical transmission work together to form a straightforward motorized sheet metal shear drive. Upper and lower high-alloy tool-steel blades perform the cut, while the adjustable back gauge supports repeated blank positioning after the required dimension is set.
This electric sheet metal cutting machine is also described as a mini electric shearing machine or thin sheet metal shearing machine when compact placement is the priority. It is suited to blanks prepared before folding, lock forming, roofing, sign making, enclosure production and HVAC fabrication, but model selection must still follow the actual material type, grade, strength, thickness, cutting length and daily work pattern.
Daily Workshop Challenges
What Problems Does This Small Electric Shear Solve?
Large shears do not fit every workshop
The compact range helps buyers match cutting width to limited floor space and small-batch work.
Repeated blank sizes need positioning support
The published 500 mm back-gauge travel supports repeat positioning after the required size is set.
Thin-sheet work needs the right machine class
Q11G models provide a focused alternative to oversizing a hydraulic shear for suitable thin-sheet production.
Compact Production Positioning
Compact Electric Sheet Metal Cutting for Small Workshops
The Q11G small electric shear is positioned for flexible thin-sheet straight cutting, a compact layout and everyday small- or mixed-batch production. Powered cutting reduces repeated manual effort while the foot control keeps the operator's hands available for supporting and positioning the sheet before each cut.
Published 2 mm models cover 600, 800, 1000, 1300, 1500 and 1600 mm cutting widths. Their listed shearing frequency is 30 cycles per minute; that figure describes machine cycling under the published configuration, not guaranteed finished-part output.
Longer Q11G entries have different published capacity: Q11G-1.5 x 2000 is listed at 1.5 mm and Q11G-1.2 x 2500 at 1.2 mm. This makes model-specific selection more reliable than treating every machine as a 2mm small electric shearing machine.
For buyers searching for a compact sheet metal shear for small workshop use or an electric sheet metal shear for small batch production, the correct choice starts with actual material strength, thickness, cutting length, blade condition and required daily cutting pattern.

Material Review
What Materials Can This Q11G Electric Shear Cut?
Actual cutting capacity depends on material type, grade, tensile strength, hardness or temper, sheet thickness, cutting length, blade condition and blade clearance. The published mild-steel-style model capacity must not be applied automatically to every material.
01
Mild Steel Sheet
Prepare suitable thin panels, covers, brackets and enclosure blanks after confirming grade, tensile strength, thickness and cutting length.
02
Galvanized Steel Sheet
A small electric shear for galvanized sheet can prepare suitable HVAC, flashing and light-fabrication blanks after coating and base-metal review.
03
Aluminum Sheet
Confirm alloy, temper, thickness and surface requirements because aluminum behavior differs from mild steel.
04
Stainless Steel Sheet
Higher material strength means a 2mm electric sheet metal shear rating cannot be assumed for 2 mm stainless steel.
05
Copper Sheet
Review copper condition, thickness, cutting length and surface requirements before approving the blade clearance and machine model.
06
Brass Sheet
Soft and half-hard brass sheet may be reviewed when thickness, temper, cutting length and edge requirements suit the selected model.

Buyer Questions
Small Electric Shearing Machine FAQ
What is a small electric shearing machine?
It is a compact powered shear for straight cutting of suitable thin sheet. The Q11G design uses an electric motor, reducer, brake and mechanical transmission instead of manual pedal or hydraulic power.
What is an electric sheet metal shear used for?
It prepares straight blanks for HVAC ducts, roofing, signs, electrical cabinets, light fabrication and other small-batch sheet-metal work.
What thickness can a small electric shearing machine cut?
The published compact Q11G rows range from 1.2 to 2 mm depending on cutting width. Q11G-2 models cover widths up to 1600 mm, while the listed 2000 and 2500 mm models have lower published maximum thicknesses. Material strength must also be confirmed.
Which Q11G model should I choose?
Choose from material and grade, thickness, required cutting width, daily volume, back-gauge requirement, floor space and voltage. Do not select only from the 2 mm label.
Can a small electric shear cut galvanized sheet?
Galvanized sheet is a listed application, but the coating, base-metal grade, tensile strength, thickness and width must match the selected model.
Is a small electric shear suitable for HVAC duct fabrication?
Yes, it can prepare confirmed galvanized blanks before folding, lock forming, flange forming and duct assembly. It does not replace those downstream machines.
What is the difference between a small electric shear and an energy-saving electric shear?
The small electric page emphasizes compact footprint, small workshops, small batches and the compact Q11G range. The energy-saving page emphasizes reduced unnecessary power use, lower noise and operating-cost control.
What is the difference between an electric shear and a hydraulic shear?
A compact electric shear uses a motorized mechanical drive for suitable thin-sheet work. A hydraulic shear provides greater shearing force and is generally selected for heavier material or more demanding production, with a more complex hydraulic system.
How much does a small electric shearing machine cost?
