Two Materials: One Powerful Table

In the construction industry, materials can make or break a project. Every structure’s safety is contingent upon solid and strong, dependable building supplies. That’s why builders and planners often turn to stainless steel. Developed in the 1990s, stainless steel has become a trusted support in construction projects due to its high resistance to corrosion, its availability in a wide range of surface finishes, and its use in not only large fixtures but also in wires, plates, screws, nails, machinery, and other components related to and necessary for construction.

Another effective material utilized in construction is powder coating. An advanced eco-friendly option for protective finishes, this dry, electrically charged coating system made of finely ground particles of pigment and resin can be easily sprayed onto metal surfaces. Its electrical charge allows the powder to adhere to the grounded metal item. It is then baked in an oven, causing the powder to fuse to the substrate, resulting in a smooth and durable finish.

Swenson Shear combines the power of stainless steel with the benefits of powder coating in the creation of the SnapTable Pro, the all-in-one panel preparation system for standing seam metal roofing. It accommodates panels between 12” and 24” and is equipped to provide first class notching, cutting, and hemming in up to 60” offsets for hip-valley roofing cuts, ideal for any commercial, industrial or residential job.

Honed from the highest quality stainless steel and finished with an incredibly hard-wearing powder coating, the SnapTable Pro is corrosion resistant and tough enough to withstand the most rugged of conditions. In addition, its versatility saves time and money on projects, exceeding expectations but at affordable pricing.

At Swenson Shear, we keep our customers happy by building relationships based on the top-quality service and by providing the best tools for metal roofing. Part of that is creating tough equipment that is corrosion resistant. Swenson Shear’s mission is to provide innovative tools that speed up processes, improve quality, and ease the difficulty of metal panel preparation and installation.
