Is the purpose of the shear to cut PCB's?

It's instruction manual says it will shear up to 20ga metal, which is
0.035in. Seems that if I were to get a shear (and I have thought about
it), I'd want to cut 0.062in PCB material, which the model referenced
below will not do . . . unless I'm missing something?
