Wanted Sheet Metal Folder.

[maccavvy]

Ive got some sheet metal to fold at 90 degrees and have been looking at folders.

Before i buy one ,then sell it on as i only need it for a few small jobs.

Does anyone have one i could borrow in exchange for beer tokens or is selling one.

How wide does it need to be? I've got one at home which does up to 500mm (from memory).

 

I can also do up to 2m wide sheets at work on our cnc folder (comes in handy when building kit cars!)

 

pm me if this is of any interest.

Easy enough to make your own from a few pieces of angle iron & a welder; then you got it for all future bends.

i can buy one for 28 quid...i know i could knock one up. but if someone can lend me one., ill give em beer tokens and saves me money.

cant see me needing it in the future.

Do you have any photos of these folders? I'd be interested to see how you would make one.

Easy enough, just make sure the outside corner (arris) of both angle iron are only 1/2mm off the turning centre. My cobble-up has lasted 4+ years & the pivots are M16 bolts turning in pieces of steel pipe. Use pins that are removable;sometimes need to take bender apart to remove work-piece, it will bend 900mm x 0.7mm or 250mm x 1.2mm.
