The KATSU Tools Manual Sheet Metal Bending Machine (165149) is a heavy-duty hand brake folder engineered for accurate sheet metal folding and custom fabrication. Built for larger metalworking projects, it provides a generous 1000mm maximum working width, making it an essential manual tool for workshops, garages, engineers, and DIY makers.
Constructed from a robust steel frame for maximum stability and durability, this bender allows smooth, manual control without requiring electricity. Featuring an adjustable folding beam that creates precise bends from 0° to 130°, it handles various carbon steel and aluminium sheet thicknesses, making it ideal for fabricating custom panels, brackets, covers, and metal boxes.
1000mm Working Width: Accommodates large sheet metal panels and fabrication projects in workshops and garages.
0-130° Adjustable Bending Angle: Flexible folding beam allows precise angle adjustments from 0° up to 130° for custom metal components.
Multi-Range Thickness Capacity: Folds up to 1.2mm carbon steel under 200mm width, 1.0mm carbon steel under 300mm width, and 0.8mm carbon steel or 1.0mm aluminium at full 1000mm width.
Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Built with a sturdy steel frame for enhanced stability and long-lasting workshop performance.
Manual Operation: Simple hand-operated design offers direct control and requires no electrical power.
