Sheet metal edge forming.

Curling is the process of forming a circular ring at the edge of the metal sheet to make it safer for handling. Cleaveland tool s edge forming tool how to adjust and use the edge rolling tool. This is done through the application of force on a workpiece. Also known as press braking flanging die bending folding and edging this method is used to deform a material to an angular shape.

Sheet metal bending methods design tips k factor bending is one of the most common sheet metal fabrication operations. They come with rollers for turning wiring burring beading and crimping. Curling sheet metal is the process of adding a hollow circular roll to the edge of the sheet. With a single tool create both sharp creases and soft curves along the edges of sheet metal.
