Make deep folds in roofing panels and other large pieces of sheet metal. Open sheet metal seams without cutting. The jaws slide under seams to pry the sheets apart.
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.
Also known as slip rolls, these curvers create bends, curves, and circles in sheet metal. Pull and pinch metal extrusions, such as L- channels, so they fit precisely around contoured edges and frames.
Save space in your shop by cutting, bending, and curving sheet metal with a single machine. Also known as shear brake rolls. Also known as ring rollers, these curvers shape wire, rods, and flat stock into curves and circles. Create squares, coils, and S- shapes. A long handle lets you access hard-to-reach spots. Place on the back side of your workpiece to act as a support when you strike it. Also known as dolly blocks. To suit a range of applications, these sets include hammers in a range of sizes and weights.
Use the domed end of the head for forming soft metal, rounding off edges, and closing rivets. The flat striking face is for driving nails, pins, punches, and chisels. The face and head are made of aluminum-bronze that is Factory Mutual approved, so these tools inhibit sparking, resist corrosion, and are nonmagnetic. These hammers have a head loaded with metal shot for added weight and a controlled impact with minimal rebound.
Set solid rivets by hand. These tools are also known as paneing, setting, and seaming hammers. Also known as jeweler's hammers, these have smooth steel faces for precise forming and finishing work on delicate metal workpieces. Also known as body and fender tools, these hammers are excellent for forming and repairing dents in sheet metal components. These air-powered tools remove dents, smooth out ridges, and shape sheet metal more efficiently than manual hammers.

You can use a tape measure or ruler to measure the thickness of your sheet metal. This measurement will be necessary for calculating your bend allowance. If your sheet metal is too thick, you may need special machinery, like a brake or a torch, to bend your sheet into the desired shape.
Calculate your bend allowance. The bending you will be doing will warp your sheet metal so that it is physically bigger. To calculate the expansion that will take place on the outside of your bend angle, you will need to know your bend allowance. Bending a brittle metal beyond its limits could cause the metal to snap and break. Mark your bend lines. Now that you know your bend allowance, take your protractor and draw a clear line with your marker across the point at which you will bend your sheet metal.
Then use your bend allowance to draw your second bend line, the intervening distance between your bend lines bend radius. The space between your bend lines will expand with the application of your bend. Cut your sheet to size. Be sure you file and smooth your sheet, as nicks and rough edges can cause cracks to form in your metal. Part 2. Place your forms in your vise. Your forms will have an edge that should match the angle of your desired bend. Situate your forms in the vise with the form block guide angle facing upwards out of your vise.
Clamp your sheet metal in your vise. Now that your forms are placed, you should clamp your sheet between your form blocks very firmly. Take care to keep your bend line even with the guide angle of your forms. Support your excess sheet metal. If you have sheet metal hanging a considerable distance outside of your form blocks, you will need to support this segment so that it does not bounce too wildly and negatively impact your bend.
Be sure to wear gloves to prevent any accidental cuts. Bend the metal with your mallet. To prevent damage or unsightly dents, it's best to use a rubber, plastic, or rawhide mallet to gently tap the metal. Do this until it bends toward the form block and achieves your desired angle gradually and evenly. Slowly work back and forth between your bend lines until the sheet metal is bent to the desired angle.
Part 3. Verify the value for material thickness in your bend allowance calculation. This particular value is deceptively named. Contrary to first impression, this number must be expressed as decimal for your calculation to be correct, and is based off of standard gauge thickness. Double-check your bend angle. If your bend allowance calculation seems off, a likely place you have made a mistake is with your bend angle. Adjust your vise.
