    Adjustable-Width Sheet Metal Benders for Bench Vises

    Image of ProductInUse. Shown with Bench Vise (Sold Separately). Front orientation. Sheet Metal Benders. Adjustable-Width Sheet Metal Benders for Bench Vises.

    Shown with Bench Vise (Sold

    Separately)

    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.

    Shears/Benders/Curvers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shears/Benders/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.

    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
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rolling Mills. Manual.
    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.
    Gear Speed Ratio—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.

    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.

    Curver with Stand

    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.

    Handheld Bead Rollers

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Bead Rollers. Handheld Bead Rollers.
    With a single tool, create both sharp creases and soft curves along the edges of sheet metal. Also known as edge rollers, these tools slide back and forth along edges to create even bends. Unlike benchtop sheet metal tools, these bead rollers are portable, so they’re often used on-site by roofers. Use 1/8” markings to set up precise bends.
