Who Are Sheet Metal Folders Suitable For?
Folders are the ideal tool when you need clean, accurate bends in sheet metal without the full capital cost of a press brake. Common applications include:
For higher-tonnage, tooled bending work requiring CNC precision, see our New Press Brakes →.
- Enclosure and electrical cabinet fabrication — light gauge panels, lids, and trays.
- HVAC and ductwork — bending galvanised and aluminium sheet to profile.
- Agricultural fabrication — guards, brackets, and covers from flat steel plate.
- Repair and general workshop use — versatile enough to handle occasional small-batch work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between a folder and a press brake? A: A folder clamps and bends sheet metal using a rotating beam — better suited to long, straight bends in lighter gauges. A press brake uses a punch and die to form the bend, giving more force and tooling flexibility for heavier plate and tighter radii.
Q: Can I test the folder before delivery? A: Yes. Contact us to arrange a demonstration at our Longford facility by prior appointment.
Q: What gauge sheet metal can these folders handle? A: This varies by model. Call Billy on 086 2509747 with your material type, gauge, and maximum bend length — we'll confirm the right spec for your application.
Q: Is delivery and installation included? A: Nationwide delivery is available. Installation and commissioning support is available from our team — discuss your site requirements when ordering. These are an additonal cost and not included in the machine price.
