It is a machine developed to bend a full-length (8’) mild steel sheet.

It is a manually-operated machine made up of nine simple parts, one of which is the adjustable bending jig that allows the Metal Bender to work on metal sheets of various thicknesses.

The use of this machine enables fabricators to form V-shape, U-shape, and even channel shape with a maximum thickness of 3 mm.
