Sheet Metal Products - What Else Can You do with a Cleatbender dataman1100 - Feb 10, 2007 - 06:24 AM Post subject: What Else Can You do with a Cleatbender
I wanted to know what else other than drive cleats you could use a cleat bender for. I have never used one and wanted to know. Could it be used to form hems on small boxes better than using a brake?
To be trueful I don't know much about duct work fabrication and am not positve on what a cleat is. I just play with making boxes and such. Right now my brake, a small 24 inch RW U-18, is a little light to bend down the hems I make. I usually use my vise with smooth jaws to finish my hems. Would a cleatbender work for this?Bud - Feb 10, 2007 - 06:15 PM Post subject:
I beleive the cleat bender has fixed depth for bending allowance where as you're probably looking for a adjustable bar folder which is quite expensive. I'm not sure if it would do what you're wanting it to do?
