Malco Products Dual Station 350MM Bender

Description

Forming wide architectural metal flashings on site, the Malco FS2F350 Dual Station Bender produces clean bends up to 350mm depth. Dual roller stations maintain straight bend lines along long roofing panels. The hand tool bends deep trim, but shaping 24-gauge steel across the full 350mm depth requires substantial upper body pushing force along the roof seam.

Precision CNC machined aluminum side plates hold hardened stainless steel guide rollers and forming wheels. This manual roofing tool operates through hand leverage without motors or cords. Tool dimensions span 12in length by 10in width by 5in height, with a lightweight tool weight of 4.2 lbs.

Key Features of Malco FS2F350

Architectural roofing contractors buy this deep-reach dual station hand bender to cut wide flashing install pricing. Dual forming stations track sheet edges accurately to bend uniform deep drip edges and commercial gravel stops.

• Dual station roller design prevents sheet metal waviness when bending wide roofing trim panels.
• Forms bends from 0 to 90 degrees in aluminum, copper, zinc, and 24-gauge steel sheet.
• Extended depth gauge scales set flange bend depths from 5/16in up to 350mm (13.78in).
• Hardened stainless steel roller components resist abrasion from rough metallic sheet coatings.
• Ergonomic aluminum center handle provides a balanced grip for pushing along standing seams.
• Laser-etched millimeter and inch scales allow rapid depth adjustments without tape measures.
• Delrin guide rollers protect pre-painted coil surfaces like Kynar from scuffs and scratches.
• Thumb locking screws hold depth settings securely under heavy manual bending thrust.

Roller Station Deflection Tests

Bench stress testing confirms the stainless guide rods withstand 180 lbs lateral force without permanent deflection. Roller runout tests at 0.0004in TIR across all forming stations. Pushing the tool along 24-gauge galvanized roofing requires 16 lbs manual thrust. Roller bearings show zero rotational drag after exposure to 150 hours of silica grit and moisture.

Roof Handling Roller Maintenance Rules

Sliding the bender down a roofing panel requires 16 lbs forward manual push. The depth adjustment thumb screws lock with 4 lbs hand twist. Do not use this sheet metal bender on material exceeding 24-gauge steel plate thickness.

• Wipe down stainless rollers with solvent to remove asphalt and mastic after every shift.
• Spray light silicone lubricant on roller axle pins every 40 hours of use.
• Inspect guide rod alignment set screws and snug to 15 ft-lbs every month.
