Machine Tools Used to Bend Metal
These machine tools manipulate metal using heavy duty steel rollers that mechanically bend softer, thinner pieces of metal into desired shapes, from gradual bends to extreme, 360-degree bends. Roll benders are often used to form pipes that will fit into a specific area of a larger machine or automobile. Verify the types of metal that can be used in the roll bender; certain types of metal may damage the machine.
