INTRODUCTION

Bench and vice mounting sheet metal folder, fitted with mounting plates. Capable of bending a 2mm steel sheet, of limited length, up to and beyond a 90° angle.

With adjustable fold plate to help achieve the cleanest fold possible. Ideal for the small garage or restoration operation.

SPECIFICATION

• MODEL NO:…………………………………………………….TS01.V2
• Capacity:…………………………….. 20 Gauge Sheet, Ø1mm Rod

OPERATION

• Unpack the unit and check that all parts are included and not damaged. Should you experience a problem contact your supplier immediately.
• Position the folder on the bench where it is to be mounted, ensuring that the handles (fig.1.7) hang vertically over the front of the bench, and use foot plates (fig.1.6) as templates to drill holes in the bench, use appropriate fixings. Or clamp the folder in a vice.
• By using a center adjustment nut (fig.1.4) ensure the top and base plate are parallel, this may require adjustment from time to time.
• Release clamps (fig.1.1) at either end of the folder so that a mall test piece of sheet metal can be inserted between the top and base plates. (fig.1.3)
• Position the test piece, adjust the top plate by use of clamps (fig.1.1) lightly tighten, and use a spanner to adjust the cam (fig1.2), so that base and top plate are aligned.
• Ensure that there is even pressure on both ends.
• Raise the top folding plate (fig.1.3) by lifting handles to create the fold. From this test, you will be able to determine how and where the fold appears.
• When satisfied with the test results, proceed with the actual workpiece.
• By rotating the end clamps through the vertical axis, longer lengths of the metal sheet can be folded, i.e. fold a section, unclamp, move the sheet, reclamp, fold a second section, etc.
