Abstract
A cutting device for cutting scrap metal has a support frame with slide guides connected thereto. A blade slide is vertically slidable in the slide guides along a travel path. A first blade is connected to the blade slide, and a second blade is fixedly connected to the support frame and cooperates with the first blade to perform the shearing action. Elastic elements cooperate with the blade slide such that the blade slide is movable essentially perpendicular to a plane of the shearing action against the bias of the elastic elements to thereby form a wider gap between the first and the second blades.
