700mm Sheet Metal Folder / Bender - 20 Gauge - Loops - ys10458

The folder is designed to handle sheet metal up to 20 Gauge thickness, which is approximately 0.9mm.

Yes, you can bend Ø1mm rods, but please note this capability is for a limited length.

The patented endless design, along with a removable folding plate, allows you to make a bend, reposition the sheet metal, and make another bend. This process can be repeated to fold any length of sheet metal.

The adjustable fold plate helps you fine-tune the angle and pressure, allowing for cleaner, more precise folds according to your specific requirements.

This tool is ideal for small garages and restoration operations. For heavy-duty industrial applications requiring bending of thicker materials or continuous high-volume work, a larger, more specialized machine might be necessary.

The folder comes with mounting plates for bench or vice mounting. Ensure you attach it to a sturdy workbench or a strong vice, tightening all fasteners securely before operation.

Basic maintenance includes keeping the folding surfaces clean, checking for loose fasteners, and occasionally lubricating moving parts if they become stiff. Store in a dry place to prevent rust.

Ensure the sheet metal is correctly positioned against the fold line. Adjust the folding plate to be parallel with the base and verify that the mounting is secure and stable. Check for any debris on the bending surfaces.

Confirm that the material thickness does not exceed the 20 Gauge (approx. 0.9mm) limit for sheet metal. Ensure the tool is securely mounted and that you are applying steady, even pressure.

Double-check that the folder is securely fastened to a workbench or vice. Ensure the mounting surface itself is robust and does not flex.

Ensure the rod diameter does not exceed the Ø1mm specification. Check if the bend is within the 'limited length' capability for rod bending as described.
