Sheet Metal Forming Equipment

Sheet metal forming, it’s one of those open-ended terms like “people of the world.” The very definition of sheet metal forming could be everything done on or to sheet metal by any means at hand. If you’ve bent it, rolled it, grooved it, sheared it, stretched it, or put a hole in, it have you not technically “formed” the metal in some way? So, our task at hand is to inform the public of what we have designated as sheet metal forming equipment since the category could be as “wide as the sea.” (See there’s another one.)

Bud’s Machine Tools supplies a considerable number of sheet metal forming tools and pieces of equipment. If you seek a machine of any kind you do not see in this section please give us a call or send us an e-mail because we probably have it. We do have additional pages of fabrication machines of many different types on our website and the chances are pretty good we can help you.

The top-of-the-line sheet metal forming machines we have selected to list here represents a decent cross section of obtainable equipment currently available on the market. In the content below, we will describe in more detail many of the sheet metal forming machines that we offer, such as slitter beaders, independent beading machines, regular beading machines, crimper-beaders, combination rotary machines, and powered beading machines, just to name a few.

What Can I Expect in Sheet Metal Forming Tools from Bud's?

Let's now go into more detail about some of our sheet metal forming machines and tools:

  • Beading machine. This beader comes with all standard spacers and collars for all operations except flanging. The beading machine has a 13" deep throat design and will form metal up to 18-gauge sheet metal.
  • Crimping/beading combination machines. These machines are amazing, in a single pass they can produce both crimping and beading. The machine is adjustable for both deep or shallow beading and for “fade away crimping.” These machines include the Ogee bead and crimping rolls to provide one pass crimping and beading.
  • Sheet gang slitter/beader machine. This machine has a capacity of three cuts of slitting on 22 to 26-gauge sheet metal. It also has a beader capacity of three sheets on 22 to 26-gauge sheet metal. The sheet gang slitter beader comes on a rigid arc welded base and is powered by a 1/2 horse power 115-volt electric motor.
  • Combination rotary machine. This piece is hand cranked to produce such forming as furnace collar edging. These machines come with a 7" extension throat for deep forming requirements.

How About a Power Beader? Yep, We Got ’Em.

Folks, if you need to do a lot of beading, get yourself one of these! These power beaders are real “world beaters” when it comes to production beading. Our power beaders have a 13" deep throat capacity for beading and crimping of all sheet metal up to 18-gauge.

These heavily built machines have a back-geared electric ¾ horse motor and gearbox along with a steel horn and one-piece frame. Our power beaders are mounted on a sturdy metal frame with adjustable motor mount. The machine includes gauges and all spacing collars for all operations except flanging.
