Description
Number of Pages: 70
This is a reproduction, not a photocopy, of an original Sheet Metal Work Handbook. What I like about this book is it contains information for someone with a small shop with medium size machines or someone without any machines at all. This book contains information on how to measure and layout the metal to achieve certain shapes and forms. It discusses how to use benders, brakes, forming rollers, burring machines, beading machines, and other had powered machines. It also contains a good chapter on soldering different metals and how to connect different types of joints. Please read the contents below for more information.
I like this book, because it has given me lots of tips for techniques that I’ve used on the job or in my shop over the years. This would be useful for anyone building or repairing houses, or building specialty boxes or covers.
