Thread: SA Sheetmetal tools

Thinning the sheetmetal tools too while I’m at it..

300mm straight lever shear. Chinese manufacture, decently made, not made of cheese. Cuts well once the clamp is adjusted properly for material thickness. From memory when I bought it it was advertised as being able to cut 5mm flat bar 75mm wide and 10mm rod, can’t vouch for those claims, I’ve only used it for sheet, will definitely cut that to 1.6 at full length. I tend to use the guillo more now I have it in a much larger shed
$120 prefer pick up, however I can deliver to Adelaide. If you’re interstate and want it I don’t mind assisting with packing but you’re organising the freight.

KaKa Shrinker/Stretcher.

Bought this on a whim without really thinking it through. It’s only been used for a couple of test pieces to ensure it works (dies need tweaking a bit so they slide smoothly but that is par for the course with pretty much every shrinker/stretcher die set)

Adam, I think selling off the shrinker/stretcher may be a bad move, you'll probably find it invaluable in doing the resto job, particularly if you can't get certain panel replacements and need to make them yourself.
Just my opinion.

It’s part of a cunning plan..
I have a kick press with a similar size throat, I’m going to procure heavier dies and then attach them to the kick press, which has a lot more tonnage available, hence the heavier dies. Also means I only have to store a couple of dies when not in use, not an entire additional tool (which to be properly useful requires me to turn it into a foot operated unit).

OK, you win, I wasn't aware that you had a replacement for it.
