The Sealey Floor Standing Sheet Metal Folder (TS02) is a professional-grade workshop tool designed for metalworkers, automotive restorers, and fabrication hobbyists who need to create precise, clean bends in sheet metal. Its standout feature is a patented endless design, allowing for the processing of metal sheets of any length, though users should note that as a manual tool, it requires physical effort and proper anchoring to ensure stability during intensive bending tasks.

The tool is designed for standard sheet metal gauges typically used in automotive and workshop fabrication; please refer to your specific material datasheet to ensure it falls within the recommended capacity for manual folders.
The unit arrives largely pre-assembled, but users will need to install it by bolting the floor-standing frame into their workshop floor.
Yes, the TS02 is fully compatible with aluminum and other soft non-ferrous sheet metals commonly used in restoration.
The unit features a quick-fold mechanism that allows it to collapse into a more compact footprint for storage against a wall.
The folding plate is designed to be removable, facilitating easier maintenance and potential replacement if it sustains heavy wear over long-term use.
While it excels at long, straight folds and offsets, it is primarily a sheet folder. You can create corner pieces by utilizing the specific design features, but it is not a dedicated box and pan brake.
Check that the fold plate adjustment is balanced and that the metal sheet is perfectly aligned with the clamping axis.
Verify that the floor mounting bolts are tight and that the floor surface is level and capable of supporting the leverage pressure.
Increase the clamping pressure by tightening the hold-down adjustment mechanisms before initiating the bend.
To set up the TS02, identify a dedicated workspace in your workshop and use the integrated mounting plates to bolt the unit firmly to the concrete floor; this is essential for safety. When not in use, clear the surrounding area and follow the manufacturer's instructions to fold the unit into its compact storage position. Maintenance is straightforward: keep the clamping surfaces free of debris and metal filings by wiping them down after every project. Periodically check all moving parts and adjusters to ensure they are free of rust and well-lubricated. If the folder becomes stiff, a light application of machine oil on the pivot points will ensure smooth operation.
