O Shearing Blade Clearance Recommendation Calculator estimates a starting blade clearance based on material type and thickness. Use it to support setup planning for sheet metal shearing and review a suggested clearance range before a test cut. Actual settings can vary with material grade, blade condition, cutting angle, and machine design, so always check your machine manual and verify the result with the manufacturer’s guidance.

Starting point only: The percentage ranges used here are general starting points, not universal machine settings. Actual blade clearance depends on material grade, thickness, hardness, blade condition, cutting (rake) angle, and machine design. Consult your shearing machine manual or the manufacturer’s guidance, and verify the setting with a test cut before production.
