Adjustable-Width Sheet Metal Benders for Bench Vises
Shape sheet metal using your bench vise as a sturdy base. Remove or slide the four dies along the clamping bar to form angles, channels, boxes, trays, and pans in a variety of widths. Unlike bench-top and floor-mount benders, these are not permanently mounted—pull them out when you need them and store them when you don’t.

Economy Sheet Metal Benders
Make bends up to 90° in metal sheets to form items such as boxes and trays. Benders attach to your bench top and have a brake bar that adjusts for different stock thicknesses and bend angles.
Sheet Metal Benders
Make bends up to 135° in metal sheets. Benders have a clearance of 4" for insertion and removal of large workpieces such as vehicle panels and duct work. They attach to your bench top and have a removable front edge to make bends that are close together.

Combination Sheet Metal Shears, Benders, and Curvers
Save space in your shop by cutting, bending, and curving sheet metal with a single machine. Also known as shear brake rolls. Use the blade on the shear to make clean, straight cuts; it has two cutting edges for twice the life. A press brake makes bends up to 90°. Create curves and circles with the slip roll.
When using the shear or press brake, set the manual back gauge to precisely position the sheet metal for consistent cuts or bends.

Hand-Held Sheet Metal Benders for Making Corners
Fold corners in flat metal sheets to create your own bin boxes, drip pans, and other three-dimensional objects. Similar to tucking the corners of a bedsheet, these benders twist and wrap the metal into triangle-shaped folds to form corners. Finish the fold by creasing it with a regular hand-held sheet metal bender.
Style A benders have a longer throat depth for making deeper corners. They create corners in any angle.
Style B benders form precise 45° or 90° corners. They have a finger hole for additional gripping options.
Sheet Metal Curvers for Shrinking and Stretching Curves
Pull and pinch metal extrusions, such as L-channels, so they fit precisely around contoured edges and frames. These curvers shrink or compress curves as well as smooth ridges and dents without heating or welding.
Carry hand-held curvers along with you to jobs. They’re small enough to fit where floor-stand models can't.
Curvers with a stand have foot pedals to keep your hands free to move the metal and complete jobs faster than hand-held models. Mounted on casters, you can move the curvers around your shop.

Hand-Held Sheet Metal Benders for Large Sheets
Make deep folds in roofing panels and other large pieces of sheet metal. Set the throat depth up to 19 5/8". Unlike bench-mount benders, these lightweight benders are easily moved from place to place.

Hand-Held Sheet Metal Benders for Opening Seams
Open sheet metal seams without cutting. The jaws slide under seams to pry the sheets apart. Because you’ve unfolded the sheet metal instead of cutting it, you can reuse both panels.

Sheet Benders for Plastic
These benders are compatible with plastics such as acrylic, polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, PVC, CPVC, ABS, and Kydex. Place a sheet between the heating bars to soften it. Heating time varies between 30 seconds and 12 minutes based on material type and thickness. Use wood or metal supports (not included) under the sheet during heating. V-groove attachment creates sharp, nonradius 90° bends in polypropylene and polyethylene sheets by melting a deep groove in the material. Excess material forms a raised edge along the inside of the bend to reinforce the angle.
Benders with a maximum temperature of 400° include a dial for smooth and precise temperature adjustments. All have an aluminum frame.

Also known as ring rollers, these curvers shape wire, rods, and flat stock into curves and circles. Turn the handle to drive material through the steel rollers. With each pass through the rollers, tighten the tensioner knob in small increments to gradually increase the curve.
Curvers with stand come with three sets of rollers—one for flat stock and two for wire and rods. They can apply pressure from either side of the bottom roller, creating more curve options.

Benchtop Rolling Mills
With hardened rollers and precision-machined gears, these rolling mills stand up to heavy use. They’re often used to compress sheets to an uncommon gauge size, convert scrap metal into sheets or wire, or create different thicknesses in a single piece of metal without welding multiple pieces together. After several passes through the mill, you may need to anneal your metal to soften it and prevent cracking.
Manual mills are gear driven, making them easier to turn than direct-drive rolling mills. Their rollers have grooves so you can form square and half-round wire in addition to sheets.
Electric mills do not require hand cranking, so they provide the power you need to complete high volumes of work. They have flat rollers for creating uniform sheets.
Gear speed ratio indicates the force it takes to turn the output gear. For instance, the manual rolling mill has a 4:1 gear ratio, meaning that you rotate the handle four times to turn the gear powering the rollers once.

Floor-Mount Combination Presses, Punches, and Shears
Also known as a 40-ton metalworker, these hydraulic machines handle a variety of forming tasks including pressing, punching, notching, and shearing. The safety guard complies with ANSI B11.8 standards. Machines require 1 1/2 gallons of Mobil DTE 24 Ultra or equivalent hydraulic oil (sold separately).
