Axminster shear/folder/roller machine - comments?

[Ian White]

I am very close to ordering one of the Axminster 305mm shear/folder/roller metalworking machines:

The main applications would be shearing PC board and aluminium, and bending various kinds of boxes and brackets.

Any comments, please?

I've seen it in the flesh, and it's a lot less substantial than what you would usually see in a sheet metal shop - only for very light sheet metal work.

Oh, for sure. The spec is only for 1mm steel or 1.5mm ali; and only 12in wide at that.

I am only asking how well it does what it's claimed to do.
