Discover the entire process of building a robust, custom hand-cranked metal bending machine, from selecting raw materials to delivering precise U-shape bends. This in-depth metalworking tutorial ...

While applications vary by industry, quality metal fabrication conforms to several basic rules and requires fundamental processes. While there are many bending solutions and strategies, nothing can ...

Following on from last month's installment on dent removal, we thought a further look at some more advanced metal fabrication might be in order. After all, if you're contemplating tackling the ...

In sheet-metal fabrication, parts are formed from metal sheets by punching, cutting, stamping, and bending. 3D CAD files are created using a host of different CAD packages and then converted into ...

Joe Amico remembers the relatively “little” thin turret machines he operated during EVS Metal’s early days in Riverdale, N.J.

For the hands-on tinkerer building custom frames, roll cages, or pond-edge structures, tube rolling has long been a battle against elastic recovery and inconsistent dies. But a wave of updated ...

In the first article of this series we gave an overview of metallurgy and looked at the most fundamental tools for doing metalwork: hammers and dollies. This time we'll show you how to use these ...
