Abstract: An angle shear for cutting a sheet metal plate in two directions shear comprises a feed table, associated therewith longitudinal and transverse cutting blades guide means, and a rotary device arranged above the feed table. Longitudinal feeding means can be retracted from the work position to a position beneath the table level and are arranged in a transverse row. Transverse feeding means can be arranged at the table level and forms a longitudinal row. Both the longitudinal and transverse feeding means cooperate with side stops, which are arranged and distributed within a plane extending in longitudinal and transverse direction. The angle shear provides for automatic feeding of sheets and stacking at several stations.
