Description
Wysong 1652 16 Gauge Hydraulic Foot Shear Wysong & Miles Sheet Metal Shear
The Wysong 1652 is a heavy-duty hydraulic foot shear built by Wysong and Miles Co. of Greensboro, North Carolina. Designed for cutting sheet metal up to 16 gauge, it uses a hydraulic power unit to drive the shear blade, with the operator initiating cuts via a foot pedal — a layout common in fabrication shops where hands need to stay on the workpiece. This unit is operational but requires tuning and servicing before production use, and is being sold as-is in its current condition.

Applications
Hydraulic foot shears like the Wysong 1652 are standard equipment in sheet metal fabrication shops, HVAC duct shops, and metalworking operations. They are used to make straight cuts across flat sheet stock — steel, aluminum, stainless, and similar materials — up to the rated gauge capacity. The foot-pedal hydraulic design allows an operator to keep both hands on the material during cutting, improving control and throughput compared to manual or treadle shears. Wysong and Miles was a well-regarded American manufacturer of metal fabrication machinery; their shears, press brakes, and ironworkers were widely used in industrial and job-shop settings from the mid-20th century onward. This machine would suit a fabrication shop, metal artist, or maintenance facility needing a capable straight-cut shear that they can bring back to working specification.
This Wysong 1652 16-gauge hydraulic foot shear is operational but requires tuning and servicing before regular production use. The machine powers on and the hydraulic system functions, but it has not been serviced and should be inspected and adjusted by a qualified technician prior to use. The backstop is missing, and no front arm extenders are included. Cosmetically, the machine shows significant wear consistent with its age and industrial use — the green painted surfaces have rust, paint loss, and general weathering throughout the frame and bed, and the working table surface shows tool marks and oxidation. The hydraulic pump unit (visible as a Channell-brand power unit) is present and connected. The foot pedal is included. The machine is being sold as-is in its current state.
