Box folder and roller

The Studios and Workshop share a selection of metal folding and rolling equipment. We have a small Groz metalworking tool, an Axminster universal metal worker capable of guillotine work, rolling sheet material and light bar and simple box folding. There is also a 350 mm finger-box folder for more intricate sheet metal or tin-smithing fabrication work.

For smaller work – potentially jewellery – there is a 300 mm hand-cranked roller for small diameter artefacts. These rollers and benders are commonly used in conjunction with the welder and forge. They can be used for making metal components, radii in metal, cranks, pins, fasteners, brackets, small artefacts such as metal boxes and tools.
